The Data Manager Appliance provides support to restore a NAS asset to the original location or to an alternate location. The Data Manager Appliance also supports FLR using the search engine to restore individual files and folders from NAS backups.
The NAS Protection solution provides File Index, Search, and FLR which allow you to search the file and folder from the entire NAS backup. When the Search Engine is deployed and NAS protection policy is enabled with indexing, you can use the File Search option to restore individual files and folders from one or more NAS backups.
Note: Indexing must be enabled for the File Search option to become available.
For more details about NAS backup and recovery with the Data Manager Appliance, see PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Administrator Guide for DM5500.
