Synopsis
find [-c CLIENTNAME] [-i INSTANCENAME] [-bk BACKUPSETNAME] [-sc SUBCLIENTNAME] [-path SOURCEPATH [SOURCEPATH ...] -f FILENAME [-ftime FROMTIME] [-ttime TOTIME]
Description
Search the backed up data to find a particular backup that you want to restore.
After you find the backup, you can restore the backup.
You can search for backups for a particular backup set, or for a particular subclient.
If you want to perform a point-in-time find, then you must use one of the following options:
-
The from time (the start time of the window during which the data was backed up)
-
The to time (the end time of the window during which the data was backed up)
-
The from and to time (the window during which the data was backed up)
The table lists the options that the software supports.
Note
-
Verify that the Index files after backup option on the Configuration tab of the VM group is enabled.
-
If you do not specify the backup set and the subclient, then the software performs the find operation on the default backup set.
