Restore a single file from a backup of VDP VM

Hi all

I have a question on vSphere for Data Protection. We installed this product a couple of days and I hope that this will help us reduce costs from Symantec Backup Exec. I read somewhere that you can restore a single or multiple file from a backup of POS. I've been clicking on my way in the restore option but I can't find this option anywhere. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you

André

Firstly, you need a VM, which has been saved at least once. On this virtual machine, you can open an Explorer with https://'IP-of_your_VDP-appliance': 8543/flr /.

As you click on "Advanced Login"

Powers the: a user who has access to this virtual machine

vCenter credentials: only that user, that you used to configure your POS with /vdp - configure. (Nested user does not work)

After login you can restore files from all virtual machines of your backup-store in this virtual machine.

If you use Internet Explorer and only see a blue screen, can you try to click on the button "compatibility view".

For the restoration of level in Linux, you need a Linux VM with an Explorer.

There is a limit of maximum 5000 files by restore.

  • Retrieve a data file from a backup on another server

    Hi all

    I usually take backup hot data files to a different like that server because I don't have enough space in the same server. I have

    SQL > alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
    SCP/bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX host [email protected]: / db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
    alter tablespace end OPS backup;

    If I want to recover the datafile can I normally do the drop offline from the data file and copy the backup data file that is located in differnet thorugh scp server and check the online data file? and the database is in archivelog mode, but I dislike abt log files. I just need to recover the data file as the last backup.
    or do we have to use all the controls recover datafile? If need to use everything recover datafile command go where it will recover the data file?

    I have not any backup or restore script, I just manually PCs from data files.

    Help please, thanks in advance...

    It is a ' user backups managed by "in the terminology of the Oracle.
    The database does not care how you copy (backup or restore) the data file from a backup location. So, you can use scp to copy the backup to the backup file.
    HOWEVER , you can recover only a datafile to the single point of the backup. Given that the rest of the database (i.e. all the other data files) have advanced further, you must RETRIEVE the DATA file and apply all ArchiveLogs since this backup of data file point to the current point (i.e. recovery would be until it again online that would apply automatically).
    Therefore, if you have had the "transactions" (e.g. deletions) against this tablespace, they will be replayed.

  • Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?

    Suppose that you remove all the contents of a folder that contains the files and subfolders. If you open the Recycle Bin, you can see a list of deleted files and subfolders, but there is no way to see the files in the subfolders. So, if you want to restore ONLY a single file in a subfolder of the deleted, it seems there is no way to do it. You can only restore the entire sub.folder, which is not necessarily what you want, especially if you filled out the application parent with other files and subfolders after the deletion.

    Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?

    Another method would be to drag the folder to the Recycle Bin on your desktop. Open it and recover the files required - re - delete the folder.

    @ Palcouk... you can actually retrieve files deleted, even when they are home to recycle the locker to restore a previous version of the folder parent; These come available restore points so not always guaranteed, but he made the most of the time if action is taken quickly enough. :) Ric

    If you do not have access to windows and you used the built in backup, you will have a problem.  There is a way pretty cludgy to get home if you know where it is.  You can download Acronis true image home and convert the backup Windows a one acronis > find the file > convert a windows backup.  Not pretty but doable

  • Restore a single file of a snapshot.

    Please consider a 'backup' every night which is carried out by:

    1. instant comments (suspended)

    2 clone the underlying data store (using "zfs snapshot" in my case that captures all files vmdk/vmsd/vmxf/vswp/lck/nvram/etc)

    3 remove the snapshot.

    Question: How can I go on the recovery of a single file from the file system of comments a few days ago?  I have at my disposal the entire repertoire of the VM from the underlying data store, such as he was cloned (files in point 2 above).  I guess that my options are:

    a. somehow say ESXi to bring up the snapshot taken in step 2.  Say ESXi parallel to the direct guest who is still ongoing.  Say ESXi to bring this backup but without any internet connection, so it does not interact with the network when you restore.  While the backup is in place, the files I need.

    b. somehow, mount the NTFS volume that has been captured in step 2.  This can be difficult if the NFTS volume was spread over several disks hard vmdk (typical 2 TB by-pass)

    c. < your idea here >

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Read my instructions carefully:

    1 clone your current VM. Original VM can be online - only with the right button and clone. (Do not power on the cloned VM) and then get rid of all readers (vmdk) except the system drive.

    2. now mount all vmdk backup where you have the file you want to restore. Of course, you need to get this snapshot on the data store connected to the host.

    3. remove the NIC in the cloned virtual computer and turn it on. Most likely, it will load normally and you will see the previous state and the file you want.

    4. now, the trick is to copy this file to the original virtual machine. Therefore add new disk on the cloned virtual machine.

    5 format the new drive and copy the desired file

    6. remove the cloned VM disk and attach it to the original virtual machine. Copy it.

    And bharathl will not work because you have SPLIT volume through some VMDK. Therefore, you have cloned VM with the same config as original virtual machine.

  • can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

    I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

    Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

I even downgraded to a previous version and restored the profiles for this version and still this nasty error pops up on everything I try to do.

    ·        Have you tried to copy the files and photos from the backup location and paste the folder documents current systems by selecting all the files and right-click on it and clicking on copy and paste it in the folder of document? What happens when you do that?

    I suggest you to send all the files and other data that is present in the location c:/backup on the USB drive and then copy the files to the USB in the documents folder and check.

    Thanks and regards.

  • In any case to restore files from a backup .inp to reformat?

    OK, so recently I had to reformat my Windows 8 Pro ultrabook. I tried to update the operating system, reinstall the OS before that I had to format and restore from a previous restore point. Unfortunately, none of the above methods worked as I couldn't get past a never-ending startup screen or a blue screen error. When I tried to reinstall the operating system he saved all my files from the user to an external hard disk in a .inp file format. It also creates a file migr.xml and include.xml to this folder location. After crossing the include.xml file in a text editor, I saw all my files that were lost were in the .inp archives. Is there anyway to recover these files?

    I know that it is about a year too late, but if anyone runs into this problem (like me) there is a simple solution. Go to the dell Web site:

    www.Dell.com/.../en

    and download the MigRestore software, this will allow you to recover the INP.files in your backup folder. Dell Backup and Restore software will not recover the files that contain files in XML document which is a major flaw of course.

    I spend hours looking for the solution, so I hope that this will save someone some time.

    Kind regards

  • How to extract deleted the file from itunes backup iPhone photos

    I bought an iPhone 16G 6 s two months ago and the storage is in short lately. So I deleted a large number of items than the iPhone, especially for photos and videos. But now, I realized there were 3 important photos deleted by mistake. Luckliy, I backed up the device with iTunes. I know that iTunes is the official way to restore an iPhone. In my case, I only need to restore these 3 photos, there is no need to restore the whole itunes backup. How can I retrieve pictures only from the backup file?

    You can't isolate only the photos in the backup file

    You will need to do a restore - fix these pictures and re delete others

  • I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

    Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

    Hi JohnEvergreen,

    Follow these steps:

    (a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

    (b) access to the "library". Click the menu "file" at the top of WMP. Select "Add to library" and wait for the dialog box labeled in order to pop open.

    (c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

    (d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.
