About restoring individual VMware files
This topic applies to NetBackup for VMware.
You can use either of the following procedures to restore files individually.
One-stage process | Restore individual files directly to a virtual machine in one of the following ways:
|
Two-stage process | Restore individual files to a host on which the NetBackup client software is installed (not to the virtual machine). See the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide on how to restore to different locations. Then manually copy the restored files to the virtual machine. (NetBackup does not perform this step.) |
Note:
Individual file recovery is supported from full backups and from incremental backups, as long as the
policy option is enabled.
