File Restore from File Backup

This restore mode is used to restore files that were backed up using File Backup. You can select and restore single or multiple files or directories.

Prerequisites

• Successful file backup to Disk Directory (vStor).

• Originally backed up VM or a VM with the same operating system family (Linux or Windows) as the source machine

Running a File Restore from File Backup

1. Log in to the DPX Master Server.

2. Select Job Manager from the sidebar, then click New Restore Job in the upper right corner of the Jobs tab.

1. Scroll down to select File Restore from File Backup, then click Next.

1. Select files or directories you want to restore, then click Next.

1. Leave all options at their default, and click Save. The restore job definition with a default name will be created.

Tip. When running a test restore, where the files or directories are still available in their original location, go to Destination Options > Existing file handling and select Rename restored files. With this option, a suffix will be added to each file that would become a duplicate upon restoring, e.g. if a file /directory/file.ext exists, it will be restored as /directory/file.ext.R00 .

1. Check the summary listing files to be restored, and click Restore. You will be redirected to the Job Monitor view filtered with the job’s name, where you can monitor the progress of the job instance.

Once the job instance is finished successfully, you will see the Completed status in green.
