Select Files or Directories > Search options
This view is shown by default when you select
and then click the link. The view lets you perform simple or advanced search operations based on the timeframe and search options that you select. When you select a specific timeframe, only the backups that occurred in the selected timeframe are searched. By default, the files or directories that are backed up over the last one month are searched.The following search options are displayed when you select
:Enter the name of the file or directory that you want to search for. This is a mandatory field. For UNIX clients, the search pattern may optionally begin with a / to indicate that the matching should start at the root directory. A pattern may optionally end with a / for UNIX clients or \ for Windows clients to indicate that only directory matches are returned. You can search by the following methods:
Note: You cannot search by only typing * in the text box. This is not supported. In addition, you cannot search by using a pattern like /path/* on UNIX or path\* on Windows. To find related results, you can search using path* or path. | |
In this field, you can specify the set of clients whose backup information you want to search. You can search multiple clients that are associated with one or more views or master servers at a given time. Select one or more clients that are associated with one master server. A table appears that provides details like client name, the master server that it is associated with and a link to remove the client. To add the clients that are associated with a different view or master server, select the view, master server, and then type in or browse for the clients. | |
Select a view from the drop-down list.Only the following views are displayed in the drop-down list:
If you select a view of type Master Server, all NetBackup master servers that are added to the view are displayed in the drop-down list. If you select a client-type view, the drop-down list is disabled. | |
Select a master server from the drop-down list. All NetBackup master servers that are a part of the selected view are displayed.Note: NetBackup master servers are displayed in the drop-down list. Even if you have older master servers in the selected view, those master servers do not appear in the drop-down list.The drop-down list is disabled in the following scenario:
To restore backed up files and directories (folders) on a client, first ensure that the master server that is associated with the client is added to the OpsCenter console. | |
Specify the clients whose backup information you want to search. If you remember the client name, type the client name in the text box. Once you start typing the client name like a1, the protected clients that begin with these characters automatically appear beneath the drop-down list (auto-complete field). Select the client name when it appears.As you select the clients that you want to search, a table appears beneath that provides details like client name that you selected for search, the master server that it is associated with and a link to remove the client. Click if you want to remove the specific client.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 master server or a client-type view. Note: The time to display search results may increase with the number of selected clients. | |
Advanced Search | You can also search on the basis of more advanced parameters in addition to the simple search parameters. Click if you want to search using additional parameters like policy type, backup type, file size, policy name etc. These are optional parameters.You are presented with the following options for an advanced search operation:
|
Note:
A command named nbfindfile has been added that lets you search files or directories based on simple search criteria. This command can be executed from the NetBackup master server (and not the OpsCenter Server).
See nbfindfile.
