NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

Restore options for restore of Hyper-V individual files

Select from the following restore options.

Table: Options for individual file restore

Option

Description

Restore everything to its original location

Restores the folders and files to the location where they resided when the backup occurred.

Restore everything to a different location

Restores the folders and files with their original hierarchy, but to a different location.

Use the Destination field to enter the restore location.

If the original volume at the time of backup (such as E:\) does not exist on the destination client for this restore, the restore fails.

Restore individual directories and files to different locations

Restores the folders and files to individually designated locations.

Allow overwrite of existing files

If any of the files that you want to restore already exist at the restore destination, the restore overwrites the existing files.

Media server

Defines the media server that has access to the storage unit that contains the backup image. An example of such an environment is a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) with multiple media servers.

Note:

If the storage unit that contains the backup image is not shared with multiple media servers, this option is grayed out.

Job priority

Determines the restore job's priority for restore resources. A higher priority means that NetBackup assigns the first available drive to the first restore job with the highest priority. Enter a number (maximum 99999). The default for all restore jobs is 0, the lowest priority possible. Any restore job with a priority greater than zero has priority over the default setting.
