Prerequisites for agent-based files and folder recovery
You can perform individual files and folders recovery from a source AHV VM backed up image. The guest operating system and the file system must be compatible for creating file system mappings.
Refer to the Nutanix AHV SCL for guest operating system and file system support for individual files restores.
You can perform individual files recovery from a source AHV VM backup. The NetBackup primary server, media server, and backup host must be at NetBackup version 9.1 or later for.
An agent-based restore is performed if the target host has the NetBackup client or server installed. The client or the target host must be at NetBackup 8.1 or later (Windows) or 8.2 or later (Linux).
Note:
If you select the Linux version 8.1 or earlier, agentless restore options are displayed.
You must specify the NetBackup configured host name or IP in the target host to follow the agent-based restore.
A user with the necessary RBAC permissions to view NetBackup hosts can browse and select the NetBackup host for a restore of files or folders.
A user without the necessary RBAC permissions must manually specify the NetBackup configured host name or IP for the target host.
The following are the minimum RBAC permissions required for a user to do agent-based files and folders restore.
