Original location restores for D-NAS Policy
Even though the 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:
- Start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
- Click the Restore Files tab.
- Click Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines to specify the server, source client, policy type, and destination client.
- For the Restore Type, select Point in Time Rollback.
The Browse directory field should be root (/).
- Click Restore.
- In the General > Destination option, select the mount point in the option Restore everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)
- (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.
