. The view allows you to select a client and then browse and select the backed up files and directories on the client for restore. You can browse the contents of only one client at a given time.You first need to select the client from the Select Client section. The following options are displayed in the Select Client section:
View |
All the views that are shown in the OpsCenter console are displayed in the drop-down list. Select a view from the drop-down list. You may select a view that is of Client-type or primary server type. Only the following views are displayed in the drop-down list:
If you select a view of type Primary Server, all NetBackup primary servers that are added to the view are displayed in the Primary Server drop-down list. If you select a client-type view, the Primary Server drop-down list is disabled. |
Primary Server |
Select the primary server that is associated with the client. NetBackup primary servers that are added to the OpsCenter console are displayed. The Primary Server drop-down list is disabled in the following scenario:
|
Client |
Only protected clients or clients that have backups are displayed. Select the client that contains the protected files and directories. Specify the client whose backup information you want to browse. If you remember the client name, type the client name in the Client text box. Once you start typing the client name like a1, protected clients that begin with these characters automatically appear beneath the drop-down list (auto-complete field). Select the client name when it appears. Note: Only those clients on which files and directories are backed up (or protected clients) are displayed when you type in a client name or browse for a client. Clients that do not have any backups are not displayed. Note: In addition, only those clients are displayed for which the user has been granted access through a view. If you do not remember any client names or simply want to browse through the clients, click the Browse and select client link and select a list of protected clients that are associated with a primary server or a client-type view. |
Once you select a client, you can see a two-pane view. The two-pane view shows the backed up client directories in the left pane and content of the selected directory in the right pane (like Windows Explorer). The backed up files and directories that are displayed is based on the timeframe that you select. The most recent backup in the specified timeframe is shown on the top by default.
