Veritas NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

Restoring individual files to a host that has a NetBackup client

Use the following procedure to restore individual files to a host that has a NetBackup client.

To restore individual files to a host that has NetBackup client

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Backup, Archive, and Restore.
  2. Click Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.

    Select the following.

    Server to use for backups and restores

    Enter the NetBackup master server that performed the Hyper-V backup.

    Source client for restores

    Enter the Hyper-V virtual machine that was backed up.

    Destination client for restores

    Enter a physical host or a virtual machine. The host or virtual machine must contain a NetBackup client.

    You must use a different procedure to restore the files to a virtual machine that does not have a NetBackup client.

    See Restoring individual files to a shared location on the virtual machine.

    Policy type for restores

    Enter Hyper-V.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Under Restore type, click Normal Backups.
  5. Enter a date and time range within which to search for backups.
  6. Under Directory Structure and Contents of selected directory, select the files to restore.
  7. Click Actions > Restore.
  8. Make your selections in the Restore Marked Files dialog box.

    Note the following:

    • Restore everything to its original location

      Select this option to restore the files to their original paths or folders on the destination client. 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 everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)

      Select this option to restore the files to a different path or folder on the destination client. Specify the folder in the Destination field.

      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.

      Use a different procedure to restore the files to a virtual machine that does not have a NetBackup client:

      See Restore Marked Files dialog for restore of individual files.

      See Restoring individual files to a shared location on the virtual machine.

    • Restore individual folders and files to different locations

      Select this option to restore files to particular locations. Each item you selected to restore appears in the Source column. Double-click on an item to enter or browse for a restore destination.

  9. Click Start Restore.
