About granular restore
NetBackup enables you to perform a granular restore of files and folders on cloud virtual machines. You can also locate and restore individual files and folders. You can also restore volumes from virtual machines.
This process is known as granular restore in which each single file in the snapshot or backup is considered as a granule or more commonly referred to as single file restore. NetBackup makes an inventory of all the files within a snapshot or backup using an indexing process. You can restore specific files from a snapshot only if that snapshot has been indexed by NetBackup. You can also restore specific files from a backup only if NetBackup has indexed the backup.
The following table helps you understand the flow of enabling granular restoration of volumes, files, and folders:
Table: Granular restore tasks
Task | Description |
|---|---|
Connect virtual machines | Connect the virtual machines that you want to use to perform granular restore. |
Discover assets on virtual machine | Use the option. Navigate to |
Create protection plan | Create a protection plan. Ensure that the check box is selected in the Backup options of the protection plan. |
Subscribe discovered assets to the protection plan | Add the assets on the VMs connected in the previous step to the protection plan that has the indexable attribute enabled granular restore. |
Execute protection plan | Schedule a backup job and indexing or use the option. The backup job starts immediately. |
Note: Restore volumes is not supported for backup copy. | Perform granular restoration of a file, folder, or volume. |
