Restoring NDMP backups

You can perform point-in-time restores for an NDMP volume or, for most NDMP devices from the certified vendors, you can restore single backups and files from the Status tab. To restore specific files see Executing a restore from the Status tab. If you wish to restore an entire volume to the exact state it was in at a selected recovery point, use the point-in-time restore procedures below.

Support for restoring NDMP backups varies by vendor. Read your vendor’s documentation for requirements and limitations.

Note about EMC VNXe: Backups of volumes on EMC VNXe devices can only be restored to the same volume path on the original VNXe device, and target directories cannot be specified. Additionally, selective restores are not supported for VNXe devices. These are limitations of the VNXe device.
