restore

[arjun7]

while doing the restore how to search the particular file or folder for restore ?

[RamNagalla]

you have 3 ways 

you need to have the client name to search...and also if you have the location/path of the file it will more easy to find...

1) from backup archive restore window

check the below doc for steps..

2)bplist command , when you know the path of the file

3)bp command from master server

In the Backup, Archive, Restore GUI (BAR), select Actions, Search Backups

Do you mean within the GUI? This has *always* been a pain, not sure how much it's changed recently if any.

This is from a post some time ago:

...you could always *try* to use the search functionality within the BAR GUI.

• Highlight the required backups within the "NetBackup History" window.
• 'Contract' the "All Folders" window so only the client name is showing.
• Click on the 'Binoculars' to open the "Search Backups" window.
• Replace 'Search Folder:' entry with 2005-*_188785-1274242.pdf.gzip (or similar wildcard entry)
• The "All Folders" window *should* now expand to show the folders that contain any matches
