Performing File System Restores

Restore your backed up data to the original location on the same computer or to a new location on the same computer or a different computer.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > File servers.

    The Overview page appears.

  2. Go to the File servers tab, and then click the file server.

    The file server page appears.

  3. Go to the Subclients tab.

  4. In the Actions column for the subclient you backed up, click the action button action_button, and then click Restore.

    The Backup content page appears.

    Note

    For CIFS exports from a Dell EMC Isilon/PowerScale server backed up through Linux access nodes,

    • if you want to restore Access Control Lists (ACLs), the destination client must also be of the OS type Linux. Selecting a Windows destination client will only restore the data, not the ACLs.
