PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 File System Agent User Guide

Centralized image-level restore of a file system asset

A file system host image-level restore enables you to recover data from backups of file systems performed in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

Prerequisites

  • On Linux, before performing an image-level restore of the block-based backup copy, ensure that you are not logged in to the destination file system asset (volume) for other data protection operations. If you are logged in to the destination asset (volume) for any other data protection operation, the restore fails.

Steps

  1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Restore > Assets and select the File System tab.
    The Restore window displays all of the file systems available for restore.
  2. Select the check box next to the desired file system and click View Copies.
    You can also use the Search field, the filter in the Name column to search on specific criteria to locate a specific file system.
    The Recovery > Assets window provides a map view in the left pane and copy details in the right pane.

    When you select a file system in the map view, the file system name appears in the right pane with the copy locations underneath. When you select a specific location in the left pane to view the copies, for example, on a DD system, the copies on that system appear in the right pane.

  3. Click DD, and then select from one of the available copies that appear in the table.
  4. In the right pane, select the check box next to the file system backup you want to restore, and then click Restore.
    The Restore wizard appears.
  5. On the Select Target Location page, choose from one of the following options, and then click Next.
    • Restore to original—Restore the file system to the original location.
    • Restore to a new location on the original host—Select the destination file system asset (volume) from the list of available assets on the host.
    • Restore to a new host—Browse from the available hosts to locate and select a destination host and file system.
    NOTE If the destination file system asset already contains some data, this data will be overwritten.
  6. On the Summary page:
    1. Review the information to ensure that the restore details are correct.
    2. Click Restore.
  7. Go to the Jobs window to monitor the restore.
    A restore job appears with a progress bar and start time.
