PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 File System User Guide

File-level restore to alternate file-system host using File Search

Use File Search in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI to restore files from one copy to a new file system. Only the Administrator and the Restore Administrator roles can restore data.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Restore > Assets, and then select the File System tab.
    The Restore window displays all the file systems available for restore.
  2. Click File Search, and then perform the following:
    1. Select a file system from the Name list.
    2. Use the File Name and File Type fields to search for specific files, or specify a file size or folder path to perform the search.
      The files that match the search criteria display in the Results pane.
    3. In the Results pane, select the file that you want to restore, and then click Add.
      The Results pane is collapsed, and the Selected Files pane updates to display the current file selections.
    4. When finished with your selections, click Restore.
      The File System Restore wizard appears, displaying the Location page.
  3. On the Location page:
    1. Select Restore to alternate host.
      The table on the page updates to display the available destination file systems.
    2. Select the file system.
    3. Click Next.
    The Options page appears.
  4. 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.
    • Trace—The most detailed amount of information for complex problem diagnosis.
    The Summary page appears.
  5. On the Summary page:
    1. Review the information to ensure that the restore details are correct. You can click Edit next to certain rows to change the information.
    2. Click Restore or Finish.
  6. Go to the Jobs window to monitor the restore.
    A batch file level restore job appears as a job group, with a progress bar and start time. A separate job entry is created for each copy that is being restored from.
