Restoring NDMP data

During the restore process, you can select individual files for restore if file history was enabled for the backup job.

Backup Exec cannot gather sufficient file and directory information on an NDMP restore job to accurately populate the Job Summary and Set Detail Information sections of the job history. Therefore, the number of files, directories, files skipped, corrupt files, and files in use always appears as 0.

NDMP backup sets cannot be cataloged unless the following option is selected as a catalog default:

Use storage media-based catalogs

See Changing application settings for the catalogs.

Note:

You cannot exclude files and directories from restore jobs on NDMP servers. Excluded directories and files are restored.
