Instructions

In order to restore a backup, or replicated backup from an Avamar source grid, an internal account (such as MCUser) is required.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) accounts do not work as the source grid makes a connection with the target grid using the avmgr command for login authentication.

 

To perform a restore:

1. Log in to the Avamar UI as a MCUser.

2. Select the remote backup to be restored, and initiate the restore.
