Limitations
Cross-platform recovery of individual files is not supported. You can restore windows files to only windows guest operating systems and Linux files to only supported Linux guest operating. That implies, the recovery host must be the same platform as the files that you want to restore.
In a recovery process, NetBackup recreates the links between a hard link and its original file. Only in this case, the link file, and its target file must be restored in the same job.
Note:
If each file is restored individually in separate restore jobs, they are restored as separate files and the link is not re-established.
For dual-boot virtual machines, NetBackup does not support recovery of individual files or folders.
For client platform and file system support and limitations, see https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/NB_70_80_VE .
The Flatten existing directory structure and Append string to file names options are only applicable to files. They are not available for directories.
If you select and Overwrite existing filesoptions, you risk an incorrect restore, if it contains multiple files with the same file name. In such case, the last file restored is the one that is present when the restore completes.
If you select and you do not select , the restore succeeds, and the first file that is restored is present when the restore completes. To prevent, do not select when restoring multiple files with the same name.
If a backup and a restore occur simultaneously on the same VM, one or both jobs can have unexpected results.
Note:
If a backup or a restore exits with a non-zero NetBackup Status Code, one possible cause is simultaneous jobs occurring on the same VM.
If selected restore data contains any hidden files such as
.bashrc,.bash_history, Append string to file names restore option is not supported.Nutanix agentless restores can only be used to the restore of files and folders.
Restore job fails, if NetBackup does not have sufficient privileges to the staging directory or if there is insufficient space in the staging directory.
Note:
Veritas does not recommend Nutanix AHV agentless restore, if a NetBackup client already exists on the target VM. The NetBackup administrator must use the agent-based restore in such cases.
On windows target host, restore destination to a mapped drive, is not supported.
NetBackup does not support the communication with windows target host with a use of
openSSH. In such cases restore job fails.NetBackup does not support non-ASCII characters in target host staging-location path.
NetBackup only supports NTLM authentication type for windows target host.
AHV images backed-up prior to 9.1 release, cannot be restored from web UI. To restore these images user must use Java GUI.
AHV backup images are available on web UI, even if the backup was taken from Java GUI provided the backup host has NetBackup version 9.1 or later.
About the backup images on web UI:
If the asset discovery is successful, and after that backup is taken from java GUI, backup images are available on web UI.
If the primary sever and backup host is upgraded to 9.1, backup is taken from java GUI, and then if you configure web UI, you must run asset discovery to see the backup images.
If the primary sever is upgraded to 9.1 but backup host is version is still prior to 9.1 and backup is taken from java GUI, and then if you configure web UI, you cannot see the backup images even after asset discovery.
