Point-in-time restores for NDMP clients are done by volume. If the selected backup is a differential or incremental, the entire chain of backups is restored to the specified target location.
When performing point-in-time restores for NDMP volumes, you cannot specify files to include or exclude. The volume is restored exactly as it was at the selected recovery point.
Additionally, when performing a point-in-time restore for an NDMP client, there is no default target location. You must specify the target device and volume. Optionally you can specify a target directory.
1 Select the NDMP device in the Navigation pane.
2 Click Restore.
3 Select the desired Recovery Point Day in the calendar.
4 Click on one of the backups in the Recovery Point Times grid, or select a green recovery point on the wheel.
5 Click Next.
Note: You cannot specify files to include or exclude for NDMP point-in-time restores. To restore specific files, see Executing a restore from the Status tab.
6 Select the desired target device in the Target to Which to Restore drop-down list. You can select any NDMP device that has the same vendor as the backup’s original device and is attached to the Unitrends appliance.
7 Select the desired target volume in the Target Volume field. Only directories on the selected device that are online and have enough space for the restore are visible.
8 (Optional) Enter the desired target directory in the Target Directory field. The target directory cannot exceed 255 characters.
• If the directory entered does not exist, it is created within the selected volume.
• If this field is left blank, the backup is restored to the target volume.
9 Click Restore.
If you encounter a permissions error when accessing an NDMP backup restored to an environment with different permissions, unmount the target volume and remount it with the appropriate permissions.
