But you missed this ...

 

The Enable granular recovery attribute is selectable for the following policy types:

MS-Exchange-Server

MS-SharePoint

MS-Windows (for Active Directory)

 

And NetBackup - 7.1.x and Earlier, NetBackup, Linux client can't run any of those applications. wink

What exactly are you restoring from? 

Is it a database server, an exchange server, a sharepoint farm?

 

Normal restores are generally done on "flat filesystem" backups where a granular restore is a restore from a backup that was done using an agent.

GRT lets you restore individual items in AD, exchange, SP, etc. instead of restoring the entire backup, restoring over the top of the server etc.

 

Thats it in a nutshell...
