Replicated backups can be restored to a client that is directly attached to the target. Once you have registered the client to the replication system, it can be used for restoring replicated backups stored on the target system.
To restore a replicated backup
| 1 | On the replication target system, add the client to which you will restore the replicated backup. See About adding clients for details. |
| 2 | Switch to replication view by selecting the Gear icon at the bottom of the Navigation pane, checking Show Replication view, and clicking Confirm. |
| 3 | Proceed to one of the following sections for details on restoring the desired replicated backup: |
| • | To restore a bare metal backup, see Bare metal recovery from a replication target. |
| • | To restore a Linux or non-x86 compatible client using a bare metal ISO and master backup, see Restore a Linux or non-x86 client from the replication target. |
| • | To restore a file-level backup, see the procedure Restoring from a file-level backup. |
| • | To restore a SQL backup, see SQL restore from the replication target. |
| • | To restore an Exchange backup, use the procedure Restoring to an alternate location. |
| • | To restore items from a SharePoint backup, see To restore SharePoint items from backup. Since catastrophic farm recovery must be performed to the original farm, you cannot run full farm restores from the replication target. Instead, restore from the source backup system as described in To restore the entire farm on a standalone SharePoint 2013 or 2010 server. |
| • | To restore items from an Oracle backup, see Replicated Oracle restore considerations and procedures. Since full Oracle backups must be restored to the original database, you cannot restore them from the replication target. Instead, restore from the source backup system as described in Oracle restore from the backup system. |
| • | To restore a Hyper-V virtual machine, use the procedure To restore a Hyper-V VM to an alternate Hyper-V server. To restore files from a Hyper-V backup, see Restoring files from Hyper-V backups. |
| • | To restore a VMware virtual machine, use the procedure Restoring the entire VMware virtual machine. To restore files from a VMware backup, see Restoring files from VMware backups. |
