About universal share self-service recovery

This feature allows a workload administrator to restore universal share data using Instant Access or single file recovery in the web UI. Instant Access recovery would enable the creation of a universal share to mount the data and present a path to the end user to access files. A workload administrator that does not have administration rights can restore the data without intervention from a NetBackup administrator.

When replication is performed, a universal share asset is created on the target server that is based on the information in the image. NetBackup automatically deletes a universal share if there are no recovery points and no corresponding universal share storage.
