Performing a universal share self-service recovery

This procedure allows a workload administrator to choose one asset and select recovery points and all available copies of that recovery point. They can also select a default copy or copy of interest to perform provisioning of a universal share.

Recover a universal share

  1. In the NetBackup web UI, select Workloads > Universal shares.
  2. In the Shares tab, select the universal share you want to use.
  3. Select Recovery points to view all recovery images for that universal share.
  4. Click Recover and then click on Create instant access universal share on the image you want to use.
  5. Provide the following required information:
    • Enter a Display name. This name is used in the universal share path.

    • Select the Protocol: NSF or SMB (CIFS)

    • Specify a Host that is allowed to mount the share and then click Add to list. You can use the host name, IP address, short name, or the FQDN to specify the host. You can enter multiple hosts for each share.

  6. Click Save.
  7. NetBackup creates a recovery job. You can view this job by clicking on Restore activity.
  8. Select Workloads > Universal shares > Instant access universal shares to review the universal share.
