Restoring file system data
To restore file system data from the vSnap repository, define a job that restores data from either the newest backup or an earlier backup copy. By using the File Systems File-Level Restore browser, you can select the file system resources to add to the job, and specify whether to restore data to another file system or to different path in the same file system on the same host.
Before you begin
Important: Restoring of files is always on the same host machine.
Ensure that the following additional requirements are met:
- Ensure that at least one file system backup job was run successfully. For instructions about setting up a backup job, see Backing up file system data.
- Ensure that IBM Spectrum® Protect Plus roles and resource groups are assigned to the user who is setting up the restore job. For more information about assigning roles, see Managing user access.
Before you start a restore operation, ensure that you have sufficient space to allow the restore operation to complete. For more information about space requirements, see Space requirements for file system protection. For more information about prerequisites and setup, see Prerequisites for file system protection.
About this task
Attention: When you are defining the restore job, the Run cleanup immediately
on job failure option is selected by default. This option must not be cleared unless you
are instructed by the IBM Software Support team to do so.
