To restore individual files on Windows

1. To list the identifiers of current snapshots, use the bpfis command with the query option:

       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpfis query

   This returns the ID (FIS IDs) of all current snapshots. For example:

   INF - BACKUP START 3629
   INF - FIS IDs: 1036458302
   INF - EXIT STATUS 0: the requested operation was successfully 
   completed

2. For each snapshot identifier, enter bpfis query again, specifying the snapshot ID:

       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpfis query -id 1036458302

   This returns the path or the original file system (snapshot source) and the GUID (Global Universal Identifier) representing the snapshot volume. For example:

               INF - BACKUP START 2708
               INF - Snapshot method: FlashSnap
               INF - Snapshot image host  : tire
               INF - Snapshot image owner : NBU
               INF - Time created       : Sat Oct 25 15:26:04 2003
   
               INF - REMAP FILE BACKUP H:\ USING
               \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\ 
               OPTIONS:ALT_PATH_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\
               Temp\_vrts_frzn_img_2408,FITYPE=MIRROR,MNTPOINT=H:\,FSTYPE=NTFS
               INF - EXIT STATUS 0: the requested operation was successfully
               completed

   In this example the snapshot file system is H:\ and the GUID is \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\.

3. To restore individual files from the snapshot volume:

   • Mount the GUID to an empty NTFS directory:

     mountvol C:\Temp\Mount 
     \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\

   • Copy the file to be restored from the temporary snapshot mount point (in this example, C:\Temp\Mount)to the primary volume.
