About restores from array-based snapshots
NetBackup manages array-based snapshot creation and replication. NetBackup also can create backup images from those snapshots.
See About configuring storage lifecycle policies for snapshots and snapshot replication.
In this release of NetBackup, you can do the following restore operations from an array-based snapshot:
File-level restore from the snapshot | NetBackup directs the storage device to restore individual files or folders from the snapshot. The storage device moves the data on the storage device. Several methods exist for file-level restore from a snapshot, a replica, or a backup, as follows:
|
Volume-level rollback restore from the snapshot (copy one) | NetBackup directs the storage device to replace the volume with the snapshot of the volume. The storage device may be able to restore the volume without moving data. See How NetApp performs a volume-level rollback restore. See Restoring (rolling back) from an array-based snapshot. Note: NetBackup supports snapshot restore of copy one only to the primary site. To restore at a remote site, use file-level restore. |
Only a system administrator can perform an array-based restore.
Note:
To restore from backups created using Replication Director: If you select more than one image in the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, it may take longer than expected to display the contents of the images. NetBackup performs a separate browsing operation for each selected image. For faster restores, select one image at a time.
