Original location restores for D-NAS Policy

Even though the Restore everything to its original location option is disabled for D-NAS policy, it is possible to restore data to the original location. Use the following methods:

  • NFS Shares: Manually mount the NFS share to one of the NetBackup hosts. Use that host as the destination client and the mount path as the destination location.

  • SMB Shares: Specify the UNC path of the SMB share as the destination and one of the NetBackup hosts as the destination client. For example: \\<IP or FQDN>\<SMB_Share_Name>\<Dest>

Restore data backed up using D-NAS policy:

  1. Start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
  2. Click the Restore Files tab.
  3. Click Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines to specify the server, source client, policy type, and destination client.
  4. For the Restore Type, select Point in Time Rollback.

    The Browse directory field should be root (/).

  5. Click Restore.
  6. In the General > Destination option, select the mount point in the option Restore everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)
  7. (Optional) To overwrite the original data, select Overwrite existing files.

    Check restore progress in the Task progress tab in the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface or the Activity Monitor.
