Centralized image-level restore of a file-system asset

A file-system host image-level restore enables you to recover data from backups of file systems performed in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Restore > Assets, and then select the File System tab.

2. Select the check box next to the desired file system, and then click View Copies.
   You can also use the Search field or the filter in the Name column to search on specific criteria to locate a specific file system.
   The Recovery > Assets window provides a map view in the left pane and copy details in the right pane.

   When you select a file system in the map view, the file system name appears in the right pane with the copy locations underneath. When you select a specific location in the left pane to view the copies, for example, on a DD system, the copies on that system appear in the right pane.

3. Click , and then select one of the available copies that appear in the table.

   NOTE: If the destination file system asset already contains some data, this data will be overwritten.
6. You can select Troubleshooting mode to enable debug logging, and then select the level of logging to use:
   • Info—Includes information such as status changes. This is the default log level for scheduled backups and restores.
   • Debug—Additional information that helps with problem diagnosis.
