Granular restore from vault

Granular restore enables you to restore a volume, directory, or file that has been vaulted. Granular restore is a two-phase process in which you first specify the volume, directory, or file, which is then encapsulated in the form of a selective backup and transferred from the vault to the backup system. Once the selective backup has been completed, use the standard recovery process to restore or verify the data. See Restoring from a file-level backup for details.

To perform a granular restore from vault

Select the backup system in the Navigation pane and choose Settings > Replication > Granular Restore.

Select the desired backup in the Available Vaulted Backups pane.

Available Vaulted Backups contains a list of the most recently vaulted master and incremental backups for each client registered to the selected backup system. If a client or a vault is selected in the Navigation pane, an error occurs since the restore must have an associated backup system specified.

Upon selecting a backup, its contents display above in the Files Available pane.

Select the volume, directory, or file to restore by browsing the Files Available pane.

Only a single volume, directory, or file can be selected. Multiple selections are not allowed.

With the desired item selected, click Transfer Data.

This button is enabled (highlighted) once a selection is made in the Files Available section. If clicked, the selected item is transferred to the backup system and encapsulated in the form of a selective backup.

Restore or verify one or more files from the selective backup. See Restoring from a file-level backup for details.
