Restoring files from a EMC Backup using the NDMP Agent

robosull

The issue that I'm experiencing, is my ability not to be able to perform a restore from tape to a EMC Sans.  I'm able to backup to tape successfully from the EMC Sans to tape.  But once I try to initiate a restore from a tape backup to the Sans, I received the following error

"e000fe29 - Authentication failed on connection to the server. Make sure that the user account has the appropriate permissions and that the password was typed correctly...."

This is a strange error considering that I use the same user account and password for the backup and there are no authentication errors during the backup and the backups succeed.  The version of Symantec software in play is:  Backup Exec2010R3 SP2 with the following hot fixes installed: Hot fix 180429, 176937, 191248, 194471, and 195395.  Any help would be appreciate.

 

Thanks,

Thanks, I was able to locate the restore data.  The issue was that when the restore was completed, the process created a different folder on the root and that was where the restore data was.

Try a redirect restore to the same NDMP Volume of EMC

Is the proper path to try to complete a redirect //EMCName:10000/root_vdm_6/fs_cifs1/userstree/userfolder

Also, dumb question but using a the redirect feature will not over write everything on the Sans?  I just want to make sure, that I understand everything.

Auto select the path from the NDMP server and the volume from the browse button.

The path looks correct though.

Are you restoring the entire volume or some files and folders?

If folders then uncheck restore over existing files option.

could you please copy paste the NDMP output from the job log here, what EMC NDMP device you are backing up data from, you can also up upgrade backup exec to latest SP3 and than try with the restore.

Backup Exec 2010 R3 revision 5204 Service Pack 3

I ran the restore again but this time the restore status was "Completed status: Successful" the output log states below.  The only question, is where did the restore job place the restored data, I conducted search on the CIfs with the files that were supposedly "successfully restored" and they are no where to be found.  It's definitely strange.  I was just made aware of SP 3 for Symantec 2010 R3 today, so I have made a request up the food chain for approval to install the SP either tomorrow of Thursday.

 

But if anyone has any other suggestion to try, please pass them alone.

Looks like the data is restored.

As there are various ways to access EMC CIFS shares you have to work towards looking for it.

It is definitelyrestored to the /root_vdm_6/fs_cifs1

Please look at this location

Start run >


\\EMCName\c$\fs_cifs1\EMCName\userstree\userfolder

the process created a different folder on the root and that was where the restore data was...

My CIFS shares exist on EMC storage. Can you point me where should I look to find the restored data.

Is this path (//EMCName:10000/root_vdm_6/fs_cifs1/userstree/userfolder)  defined  under "File Redirection' --> Restore to Drive??

Thanks Kunal. This was very helpful
