# Restore for the NDMP Agent

Restore your backed up data to the original location on the same file server, to a new location on the same file server, or to a different file server as the source server.

## Considerations

### Huawei Storage Servers

For Huawei storage servers, the default configuration for the support_snapshot property is enabled. When support_snapshot is enabled, IntelliSnap restores for Huawei storage servers are not supported. If you want to run IntelliSnap restore operations on Huawei storage servers, then you must disable the support_snapshot property.

If you disable the support_snapshot property, NDMP backup jobs do not create a snapshot during the backup job, and NDMP restore jobs restore from the live file system.

For information about how to disable the support_snapshot property, see the documentation for your Huawei storage server.

### NetApp File Server

Files restored to a NetApp file server automatically use a synthetic restore if the backup contains a large number of files and does not contain alternate data streams (ADS). To create the synthetic restore, the software generates a backup image that only contains the data selected for the restore operation. Restoring from a synthetic restore improves performance when you restore a small number of files from a backup that contains a large number of files.

### vFiler

If you are restoring from a vFiler backup, see Backup Copy for IntelliSnap Backup for the NDMP Agent to create a backup copy, and then restore your vFiler data from the backup copy.
