This section describes the procedures used to export vaulted data to an archive device. You may want to export from vault to archive in these situations:
• You wish to retain older copies of client data off-site at the vault location. Rather than archiving from the backup system and taking the data off-site after, you can export directly from the vault to archive format at the off-site location itself.
• You need to restore a Unitrends virtual system using vaulted data. To restore to a virtual system, you must create a CIFS or NFS-configured NAS archive device on the virtual system and restore the vaulted data there. From the archive device you can then restore the system state and archived backup data.
1 If necessary, create the archive device on the vault system.
If you will be restoring the exported archive data to a virtual system, create archive storage of type NAS. For details, see To add archive storage.
2 On the vault system, note the path mapped to the archive device. You will need this information in Step 5 below.
To see the path, select Settings > System, Updates, and Licensing > Support Toolbox > Mountpoints. The path will look similar to /dev/sdd.
3 Using a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, connect to the vault system with the following:
• vault system IP address
• port 22
• SSH connection type
4 Log in as user root. The default password is unitrends1.
5 At the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
/usr/bp/bin/transferVaultDataUI.php 2>/dev/null
6 At the Selection: prompt, enter the ID of the backup system whose vaulted data you would like to export, then press Enter. In the following example, there is one system called Hyper-V_UEB_100 on the vault. If multiple systems are vaulting, you see them all in the list.
Beginning selection process for transferring off-premise data to archive drive
0 [Hyper-V_UEB_100]
Select the appliance you want to pick clients from. Enter number corresponding to the system name.
Selection: 0
7 At the Selection (Enter 'a' or 'i'): prompt, do one of the following:
• To export all vaulted data for this backup system, type a then press Enter.
• To export vaulted data by client, type i and Enter, then type the client ID and Enter. Repeat for each client you wish to export. Type q and enter to quit.
In the following example, all vaulted data is exported.
Selected appliance:Hyper-V_UEB_100
Number of clients available 1
Client List:
0 [hv-stress]
1 [SBS11]
Select clients to transform. [Enter 'a' for selecting all clients or 'i' to select individual clients']
Selection (Enter 'a' or 'i'): a
8 At the Selection: prompt, type the ID of the archive media target and press Enter. In this example, one archive device is available. If multiple devices are mounted, you see them all in the list.
Select the media by entering the number corresponding to the name
.Or, enter 'q' to exit.

9 Connect to the vault using the Unitrends Administrator Interface, then select Status > Present to see the archive job running. The job type is Archive and the client is the vault system. When the export completes, status changes to Successful and you see the job comment Successfully wrote x archives.
10 Once the archive job completes, archive data is stored on the device. If you need to restore a backup system from the archived data, do one of the following:
• To restore from an external eSATA or USB docking unit or from a tape device/library, attach the device to the backup system and restore as described in Disaster recovery from archive.
• To restore from a SAN or NAS device, create archive storage on the target backup system as described in Adding archive storage, then restore from the archived data as described in Disaster recovery from archive.
