Restore to EMC NDMP

This appeared to have been fixed in BE 2010 R3 SP2 (read below), but if you're getting this issue on SP4, I'd recommend opening a call with Symantec and getting them to resolve it.

Thanks!

What is the model of the device that you are using and is the dedup function enabled?

As per EMC, "You can back up Celerra Data Deduplication-enabled file systems by using Celerra NVB and restore in full. However, Celerra does not support a single-file or file-by-file restore of deduplicated files from NVB backups. EMC recommends the use of NVB backups of deduplicated file systems as part of a strategy where a single-file or file-by-file restore is done from locally or remotely replicated SnapSure checkpoints and not from 'tape."

 Reference :- http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/white-papers/h6065-achieve-storage-effficiency-celerra-dedup-wp.pdf

You can either run a full restore as per - https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH216837

Or else, the backup type must be Dump instead of VBB under NDMP Settings of the backup job.

It's a EMC VNXe3100 and yesdedup is enabled but in options we have enable file history checked which should allow you to file restores

If its a NVB backup, then it's a Celerra limitation which prevents single file restore when DeDupe is enabled.

Have you looked at the EMC documentation which I posted earlier confirming this is expected behavior ?

Its a backup of a CIFS share. in the options for backup it specifies VBB

If I do the full restore I'm not sure waht a RAWFS volume is.

I tried to do a full restore to a new share it writes a few folders and files to it and then kicks ot the error   

This is another limitation of EMC, VBB & DeDupe.

Only restore allowed is a full destructive restore. This will delete any existing data on the volume during the restore. Such a restore requires a Raw File System (RAWFS i.e. unformatted) to be created prior to the restore.

DUMP backup/restore is slower than VBB, however it allows for a single file restore. Any specific reason for choosing VBB in the backup settings ?

Nope I inherited this from others I did see in the EMC doc that if you use the dedup option sanp shots should be enabled

I truely beleive this is the first time someone tried a restore

Now trying to figure out how to build the RAWFS on the EMC

Thanks

Back with update

EMC created a RAWFS volume for the restore now get error NDMP Log Message: Cannot restore to root filesystem /.

File Redirection is

//10.10.70.26//restore

Restore to Path

/

Any help would be apreciated

Thanks

Ran restore under debug appears to not pass restore path the EMC NDMP copy of txt for log below

Trying to restore VBB backup to RAWFS

Put Volume //10.10.70.26:10000//v16194 File Redirection but it doesn't make a differance what I put in it never makes it shows
