Cloud Backup:Restore files to an on-premises NAS file system

Create a restore job

1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Backup > NAS Backup.

3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

4. On the NAS Backup page, click Local NAS.

5. On the NAS Instance tab, click the icon next to a NAS file system that is backed up.

   

6. Click an available historical backup point, and then click Restore.

   You can also click Browse to view all the files on the client that you can restore.

7. In the Create Restore Job panel, perform the following steps and click OK.

   1. Select the files that you want to restore and click Next.

      The following restore policies are supported:

      • Include All Files: All files on the client are restored.

      • Include Files or Exclude Files: You can select or enter the paths of directories or files that you want to include in or exclude from the restore job. Cloud Backup restores files on the client based on the specified restore policy.

        • Select the files that you want to include in or exclude from the restore job

          You can select files by using one of the following two methods:

          • Browse all the files that are backed up from the NAS file system and select the files that you want to include in or exclude from the restore job.

          • Enter the file names in the Search box and turn on Advanced.

            To search for files, you can specify one or more of the following conditions: Search Type, Min Size, Max Size, and Modify Time. For example, if you want to restore a file whose name is test.txt, enter test.txt in the Search box and click Search. After you click Search, the test.txt file is displayed.

        • Specify the files that you want to include in or exclude from the restore job

          Enter one path in each line and make sure that each path starts with the lowest-level directory in the source path that is backed up.

          • Restore specific files

            For example, if you want to restore the file.txt and abc.png files in the folder/test/data directory, enter the following paths:

            /data/file.txt
            /data/abc.png

          • Restore specific directories

            For example, if you want to restore all the files and subdirectories in the folder/test/data directory, enter the following path:

            /data/

          • Restore files or directories that match a condition containing wildcards

            For example, if you want to restore the files and subdirectories whose names are prefixed with abc in the folder/test/data directory, enter the following path:

            /data/abc*

   2. In the Restore Destination step, set the Destination Type parameter to Local NAS. Select an existing NAS file system to which you want to restore files, and then click Next.

      You can also add a new NAS file system to restore the files.

   3. In the Destination Path step, specify the recovery path and click Start to Restore.

      Parameter	Description
      Restore Path Type	Specify Path: restores files to the path that you specify. Origin Path: restores files to the path from which the files are backed up.
      Destination Path	This parameter is required only if you set the Restore Path Type parameter to Specify Path. This parameter specifies the path to which the files are restored.
      File Conflict Policy	Skip This File Overwrite The File (default) Keep Latest File
      Virus Detection During Restoration	If you turn on this switch, Cloud Backup performs virus detection on all files to be restored during restoration. The console provides the detailed information about this feature. For more information, see Backup point virus detection.
      When Recovery Items Contain Detected Viruses	Do not restore the virus-infected files (You can find secure versions on the Virus Detection tab.) I am aware of the risks and still want to restore all the selected items

   After a restore job is created, you can view the job progress in the Status column on the Restore Jobs tab.
