A file system host image-level restore allows recovering data from backups of file systems performed in Data Manager.
Centralized file system restore workflow
- Backup administrator creates the recovery job on Data Manager UI with the following UI inputs:
- Source file system backup
- Destination file system
- Restore options
- Restore file location
- Data Manager requests its ADM agent to dispatch the restore operation to File System Agent.
- File System Agent parses the recovery job request and converts into (ddfsrc) utility commands and executes the restore operation based on inputs provided.
- File System Agent verifies DD series appliance connectivity and the requested file system data is restored to the specified destination.
- ADM agent retrieves the result from File System Agent and updates the restore status to Data Manager.
Note: If the destination file system asset already contains some data, this data will be overwritten.
