When you browse for backups, simply select date X to restore from.

Show the exact command that you tried.

The bprestore command will restore all files and folders in the date range that you specified.

If you want to restore from one specific backup, make the start and end date the same.

Read up about bprestore in NetBackup Commands Reference Guide

Hello,

if you are talking about machine "rollback" to the state of a backup, you must use the following procedures:

- if a machine is virtual (VMware / Hyper-V) , follow procedures for VM machine restore (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000100619)

- if a machine is physical, follow procedures for Bare Metal Restore (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000100625)

- if using snapshots, you can also use rollback from snapshots (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC8581)

Or provide more info about the environment and the machine.

Regards

Sorry, you have to specify filelist or path.  If you want everything just add a slash to the command

 

bprestore -C <client> -s <start date/time> -e <end date/time>  \

I have some virtual machines ( VMware). And need to backup machine from specified backup. (Policy is set for full backup)
how can I do this using commands. (On VM is installed client part)

Some staff like bprestore - C <Client> -s <date> -e <date> /  -- Don't work, because policy don't specify files restore
