Using the BAR interface to restore an Microsoft Azure Stack VM to different location
This topic describes how to use the NetBackup Admin console's BAR interface to restore Microsoft Azure Stack on the same Microsoft Azure Stack but to different RG or Subscription.
To use the NetBackup Admin console's BAR interface to perform a restore
- Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
- On the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type wizard, enter the source and destination details for restore.
Specify the Microsoft Azure Application Endpoint as the source for which you want to perform the restore operation. From the Source client for restores list, select the required Application server.
Specify the backup host as the destination client. From the Destination client for restores list, select the required backup host. Restore is faster if the backup host is the media server that had backed up the VM.
On the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type wizard, enter the policy type details for restore. From the Policy type for restores list, choose BigData as the policy type for restore. Click Ok.
- Select the appropriate date range to restore the complete data set.
- In the Browse directory, specify the root directory ( "/") as the path to browse.
- From the File menu (Windows) or Actions menu (UNIX), choose Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.
- Go to the Backup History and select the backup images that you want to restore.
- In the Directory Structure pane, expand the Directory. All the subsequent files and folders under the directory are displayed in the Contents of Selected Directory pane.
- In the Contents of Selected Directory pane, select the check box for the Microsoft Azure VMs that you want to restore.
- Click Restore.
- In the Restore Marked Files dialog box, select the destination for restore as per your requirement.
Select Restore everything to different location to restore VM to the different RG/Subscription.
VM path is of following format /<subId>/<RgName>/<VmName>.
This option lets you:
Changing of the VM Name where restored VM will be restored to original location ( i.e. same Subscription and RG ) but with different name.
Changing RG keeping target subscription same. In this case only VMs RG is changed all the configuration including networking configuration of the VM remains the same.
Changing target Subscription & RG - this is supported only for managed disk VM restore.
Network configuration of the managed disk VM restored to different target subscription.
If Vnet & NSG exists in the target RG they are used while creating NIC. If No Vnet, NSG found in target RG. Same is searched for in different RG in the target subscription.
Note:
For more information about the restore scenarios, See "About the restore scenarios for Microsoft Azure Stack VMs from the BAR interface".
- Click Start Restore.
- Verify that the VM gets restored and instantiated.
