Restoring Guest Files and Folders for Azure Stack Hub

You can restore files and folders from an Azure Stack Hub virtual machine backup.

You can back up virtual machines that are configured with Azure Stack Hub unmanaged and managed disks. From these backups, you can restore full virtual machines and restore guest files and folders.

Prerequisites

If a passkey is configured for restores, you must have the passkey.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Virtual machines.

   The Overview page appears.

2. Click the VM groups tab.

   The VM group page appears.

3. On the VM groups tab, in the row for the VM group, click the action button , and then click Restore.

   The Select restore type page appears.

4. Select Guest files to restore files or folders.

   The Restore page appears.

5. To select a specific MediaAgent and/or source for the restore, in the upper-right area of the page, click the Settings button .

   By default, the Commvault software automatically selects the MediaAgent and source as follows:

   • MediaAgent: The software uses the MediaAgent that performed the backup.

   • Source: By default, the software searches for the requested data in the primary copy. If the data is not found in the primary copy, the software selects a secondary or auxiliary copy.

   For more information, see MediaAgent and Copy Precedence Considerations for Virtualization Restores.

6. Select the content to restore, and then click Restore.

   The Restore options dialog box appears.

7. Specify the destination for recovered files.

   By default, files are restored to the proxy that performed the backup.

   • To restore in place, leave the value in the Destination client list.

   • To restore to a different proxy:

     1. Change the value in the Destination client box to use a different proxy.

     2. Optional: To use the Impersonate user option, type the host name and credentials for the new destination.

        By default, the Local System account on the destination client is used to perform the restore operation; but you can use the Impersonate user option to provide credentials for another user account.

        The user must have permissions to create files in the specified location on the destination.

8. For the Destination path box, type a full path or click Browse to select a destination folder.

9. To delete an existing file and replace it with the restored file, select Unconditionally overwrite if it already exists.

10. Click Submit.
