This restore mode is used to restore files that were backed up using block backup. DPX displays your logical Enterprise tree structure. You can select and restore single or multiple files or directories protected by DPX agent workloads at the node group, node, drive, directory, or file level.
Go to Job Manager in the sidebar.
Click New Restore Job to open the New Restore dialog.
Select Agent-Based File Restore and Click Next.
The Object to Restore view shows all nodes that you backed up using DPX Block Backup. The available objects to restore can be sorted by Name, Type, associated Job Name, or the backup Date/Time. Find the Node that contains the files or directories you want to restore. Click Next.
From the list of volumes within the object, select the volume that contains the files or directories to restore. Click Next.
In the File Browsing step, select either the entire Volume or specific files. If you select Files, the file manager will appear, allowing you to select specific files for restore; click the volume label in the left-hand pane to display items within the volume. Select all desired files or directories and click Next.
In the Options step, specify the Job Name. The name may be up to 64 characters long and may only contain letters, digits and -
_
characters.
Specify job options using toggles. See below.
Toggle on | The restore job defined in this process will be deleted upon successful completion. If the job fails, it will not be deleted. |
Toggle off | The restore job will be saved and will be accessible later in Job Manager. |
Toggle on | The notification is sent as specified below the toggle (additional fields will appear – see below). |
Toggle off | The notification is sent to the default e-mail address configured in the Administrator E-mail Settings section. |
Optionally, you can specify other job options (see Advanced Job Options). If you wish to continue with default options, click Save. A Run Job prompt will be shown.
Click Yes to run the job immediately or No if you want to run it later from the Job Manager.
