Creating an NDMP Restore Job

To run a successful image backup, you must first define an NDMP Backup job. You also need access to an NDMP backup to restore from.

  1. In the main desktop interface window, go to the Restore tab, and from the Restore Modes section in the task panel, choose NDMP.

  1. Select the source (a previously created NDMP backup) and the destination for your restore job. Then, click Save Restore Job.
Tip.

To restore NDMP data, each NDMP node requires a unique restore definition, and you cannot mix NDMP and non-NDMP data within a single restore definition or restore from multiple NDMP backups simultaneously.

NDMP data should only be restored to NDMP nodes from the same vendor, and non-NDMP data cannot be restored to NDMP nodes.

Additionally, NDMP restores must be executed by a system administrator or an account with the necessary permissions to manage storage and write data, with specific permission requirements detailed in the storage vendor's documentation

Attention!

If the status of a disk object is offline, you cannot browse the disk in the management console or select it as a restore destination.

Specifying a destination directory or qtree that does not exist
  1. Right-click the volume or directory in the destination tree to which you want to add the new directory.
  2. Select Create New Directory from the context menu and choose a name for your directory. Note that slashes are not supported in this dialog.
