PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Network Attached Storage User Guide

Restore a NAS asset to the original location

A restore to the original location enables you to restore data from primary or replicated backups to the same location on the NAS.

1. Log in to the PowerProtect Data Manager user interface as a user with the Restore Administrator role.
2. From the left navigation pane, select Restore > Assets.
   The Restore window appears.
3. Click the NAS tab.
   The Restore window displays a list of NAS assets.
4. Select the check box next to the NAS asset that contains the backup, and then click Restore.
   You can use the Search field or the filter in the Name column to locate a specific asset.
   The NAS Restore wizard opens on the Copy Selection page.
5. Select one of the configured stages from the associated protection policy. For example, the primary backup or a replication stage.
   The wizard displays a list of the available copies from which you can restore.
6. Select an available copy, and then click Next.
   The NAS Restore wizard moves to the Location page.
7. Select Restore and Overwrite the Original Share, and then click Next.
   NOTE Restoring from the backup does not overwrite any data which is not part of the backup. Only files that are part of the backup are overwritten with restored data.
8. On the Summary page, verify the details, and then click Restore to start the restore.
9. Go to the Jobs window to monitor the restore.
   A restore job appears with a progress bar and start time. If a restore job for this asset is already in progress, PowerProtect Data Manager queues a new restore job.
