Restoring a True Image of a Folder

You can restore a true image of a folder only if the NetBackup class that is

backing up your files and folders is configured to collect true image restore

information prior to backup. If in doubt, ask your NetBackup administrator.

1. Open the NetBackup Restore window.

If you get a

No Entity Found message

at this point, notify the

administrator. The TIR option on the NetBackup server must be set before

you can perform a true image restore. A backup with the TIR option set

needs to exist before a TIR restore can happen.

2. Make sure the root folder is selected.

3. In the All Folders pane of the NetBackup Restore (True Image) window,

double-click the parent of the folder you want to restore.

The double-click updates the NetBackup Restore (True Image) window to

show the folders that are available for true image restores. Notice that the

lists show only folders. Individual files do not appear because true image

restores are intended only for restoring entire folders. To list or select

individual files, use

Restore from Backup

If NetBackup cannot find any folders, check the

Search Folder:

setting in the

Search Backups dialog box. Also check the range of backups that you are

searching (backup history pane). If all of these settings are correct and no

folders are found, ask the administrator to see if the NetBackup class that is

backing up your files and folders is configured to collect true image restore

information.

4. Select the date range of backups that NetBackup will search in order to find

the desired folder.

It is best to leave the backup selection at the default date range unless you

are restoring a version of the folder that existed before the last full backup

or incremental backup.

5. Select the folder you want to restore by marking it in the Contents of

’<folder>’ pane of the NetBackup Restore (True Image) window (you must

select from this side of the window). By default, NetBackup restores the

folder to its original location.
