Novell OES Restore single files

Hello everyone,

 

I've got a VMware Backup of SUSE Linux 10 SP 4 with Novell OES 2 SP 3.

The Backup includes a NSS Volume - it runs successfully.

When I try to restore I can browse through the folders but no files are shown.

 

The size of the backup looks good, so my question is whether this is a normal behavior that I cannot restore a single file?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards

  • Hi Daniel,

    Netbackup version? Are you doing in guest backup or using Netbackup for vmware policy?

    Can you also send the bppllist <backup_policy_name> -L output.
