Restoring Guest Files and Folders for Oracle VM

You can restore guest files and folders from virtual machine backups.

To provide UNIX file system support for ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, JFS, HFS, HFS Plus, and Btrfs file systems:

Notes

  • For Commvault Service Pack 7 and later, MediaAgents that are able to act as File Recovery Enablers are automatically configured.

  • When you perform a live browse operation on Linux files and folders, the Client tab shows logical volumes as volume groups rather than mount paths.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > virtualization_client > Virtual Server > instance > backup_set.

  2. Initiate the restore from a subclient or backup set:

    • From a subclient: Right-click the subclient and then click Browse and Restore.

    • From a backup set: Right-click the backup set, point to All Tasks, and then click Browse and Restore.

  3. In the Browse and Restore Options dialog box, click Guest Files and Folders and then click View Content.

  4. From the browse results, expand the left pane, select the files or folders to be restored, and then click Recover All Selected.

    To select a specific file version, right-click the file, select View All Versions, and then select the version.

  5. In the Restore Options for All Selected Items dialog box:

    Restore ACLs

    Select one of the following options:

    • Restore ACLs Only - Restore permissions from the backup and apply them to the files specified for the restore.

    • Restore Data Only - Restore files and folders with the default permissions for the destination path.

    • Restore Both Data and ACLs - Restore files and folders while preserving source file and folder permissions.

    Unconditional Overwrite

    Select this check box to overwrite source files or folders with the same names.

    Restore Destination

    Modify the following values to restore out of place:

    1. For Destination client, select the VSA proxy to be used for the restore.

    2. For Specify destination path, enter or browse to the location where the file or folder will be restored.

      A file or folder can be restored to an NFS-mounted file system (Unix). Clients with NFS mounted to another machine can restore to that mount. Click the Browse button to see if the mount is visible.

    Preserve Source Paths

    Use the Preserve or Remove options to determine how many levels of parent folders are created for restored files. For example, when restoring a file from the /MEMOS/SALES folder, you can preserve two levels to create both folders, or preserve one level to create only the SALES folder.

    Impersonate User

    Select this option to specify a different user for the restore operation, and enter user credentials in the User Name, Password, and Confirm Password boxes.

  6. To specify a File Recovery Enabler for Linux:

    1. Click Advanced.

    2. Click the Data Path tab.

    3. Select Use File Recovery Enabler for Linux and select a MediaAgent that is configured as a File Recovery Enabler from the list.

    By default, the restore operation uses the File Recovery Enabler that is configured for the instance.

  7. Click OK to initiate the restore job.
