Perform an NDMP restore
An administrator can perform a restore as follows:
With the NetBackup Web UI, from the primary server.
With the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface from a NetBackup primary server or media server.
NetBackup administrators can restore files to the original NDMP host or to a different NDMP host.
Note:
To restore NDMP with the NetBackup Web UI
- On the primary server, open the NetBackup Web UI.
- On the left, select Recovery.
- On the Regular recovery card, click Start recovery.
- Select the following information and click Next.
Policy type
NDMP
Source client
Select the appropriate NDMP (NAS) host.
Destination client
Select the appropriate NDMP (NAS) host.
The destination host must be an NDMP host that is compatible with the data format of the source. (The source and destination must be of the same NAS vendor type.)
- NetBackup automatically displays the most recent backup. To select a different date range, click Edit.
- Select the files or folders that you want to restore. Then click Next.

To restore NDMP with the BAR interface
- In the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on a NetBackup server, click Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.
- For the server, select the NetBackup primary server.
If your configuration has multiple primary servers, specify the primary server that has the policy for the NDMP host that you plan to restore. If the server name is not in the pull-down list, use Edit Server List to add it.
- For the source clients and destination clients, select the appropriate NDMP (NAS) hosts.
The destination host must be an NDMP host compatible with the data format of the source. (The source and destination must be of the same NAS vendor type.)
If the hosts that you want are not available in the pull-down menu, use Edit Client List to add the client.
- In the policy type field, select NDMP.
