# Restore Amazon EFS data

## Procedure

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

2. On the Files tab, click the file server.

   Each AWS account that you selected during discovery configuration is represented as a file server.

3. Under Protocols, click NFS.

4. On the Subclients tab, select the subclient to protect.

   Each EFS file system in the selected account is represented as a subclient.

5. Click the action button , and then click Restore.

6. Select the content to restore:

   - To restore the contents of the entire subclient, select the check box next to Name.

   - To restore particular files, expand the folder and then select the files.

7. Click Restore.

8. From the Destination list, choose the destination location to which you want to restore the data.

9. Select the Access node that you want to use to restore the data.

   Note

   - Access node selection is available only if auto-scaling is disabled on the destination client at the backup protocol level.

   - If the destination client has auto-scaling enabled at the backup protocol level, proceed to enter the Destination path.

10. Select the restore location on the destination client.

    - For an in-place restore, (the original backup location), select the Restore to original folder check box.

    - For an out-of-place restore (a different destination than the original backup location), clear the Restore to original folder check box, and then enter the Destination path.

      To restore to an NFS export path that is currently not mounted, enter path in the format file_server_name:/export_path.

    - You can also browse the restore destination path. Follow these steps:

      1. If the restore destination is a CIFS share, then enable the Impersonate user slider, and then enter the user name and password required to access the same.

      2. Click Browse to browse the destination location.

      3. Select the restore destination folder, and then click Save.

    Important

    To restore data to a different Amazon EFS file system,

    - Mount the destination Amazon EFS file system on the access node.

    - Select the access node as the destination client and the mounted path as the destination folder.

    - Verify that the destination Amazon EFS file system does not use the following file system policies:

      - Prevent root access by default

      - Prevent anonymous access.

11. To overwrite the existing data, select the Unconditionally overwrite if it already exists check box.

12. Click Restore.
