Restoring Files from Backups Made Using a UNIX MediaAgent

You can enable file-level restores from backups that were made using a UNIX MediaAgent.

For backups that use a UNIX MediaAgent, the index for the UNIX MediaAgent is copied to the Windows MediaAgent selected for the browse and restore. This enables all volumes, files, and folders to be displayed when browsing a virtual machine.

Before You Begin

  • The Index Cache must be on an NTFS disk.

  • You must enable restore jobs to use an alternative MediaAgent and drive pool to access the required media.

  • The MediaAgent package must be installed on the Virtual Server Agent proxy that is used for the restore.
