Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
You can restore full or differential NAS file system images that were
backed up previously. If you restore a differential image, Tivoli
Storage Manager automatically restores the full backup image first, followed
by the differential image. It is not necessary for a client node to
mount a NAS file system to perform backup or restore operations on that file
system.
For information on how to install and configure the Web client, see Installing and Using the Web Client.
To restore NAS file systems using the Web client GUI:
- Click the Restore from the main window. The Restore
window appears.
- To restore to earlier backup versions of NAS filesystem images select
View >Display active/inactive files from the main
window.
- To restore NAS file system images to the state that existed at a specific
date and time, click the Point In Time button on the Restore window
and enter the appropriate information.
- Expand the directory tree if necessary. To expand a node in the
tree, click the plus sign (+) next to an object in the tree.
Notes:
- The root node called Nodes is not selectable. This node
only appears if Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP is enabled on the
server.
- NAS nodes display on the same level as the client workstation's
node. Only nodes to which the administrator has authority
appear.
- NAS nodes will expand to reveal file systems. Under each file
system are images which you can select to restore.
- Click the selection boxes next to the nodes, file systems or images you
want to restore.
- Click Restore. The Restore Destination window
appears. Enter the information in the Restore Destination
window.
- Note:
- You can restore NAS file system images to any volume on the NAS file server
from which they were backed up. You cannot restore images to another
NAS file server.
- Click Restore. The NAS Restore Task List
window displays the restore processing status and progress bar. The
number next to the progress bar indicates the estimated size of the
restore. After the restore completes, the NAS Restore Report window
displays processing details, including the actual size of the restore.
- Note:
- If it is necessary to close the Web browser session, current NAS operations
will continue after disconnect. You can use the Dismiss
button on the NAS Restore Task List window to quit monitoring
processes without ending the current operation.
- (Optional) To monitor processing of an operation, select the
Actions > Monitor TSM Activities from the main
window.
Table 36 lists the commands and options you can use to restore NAS
file system images from the command line.
Table 36. NAS Options and Commands
Option or Command
| Definition
| Page
|
query node
| Displays all the nodes for which a particular administrative user ID has
authority to perform operations. The authorized administrative user ID
should have at least client owner authority over both the NAS node and the
client workstation node they are using either from command line or from the
web.
| Query Node
|
query backup
| Use the query backup command with the class option
to display information about file system images backed up for a NAS file
server.
| Query Backup
|
query filespace
| Use the query filespace command with the class
option to display a list of file spaces belonging to a NAS node.
| Query Filespace
|
restore nas
| Restores the image of a file system belonging to a Network Attached
Storage (NAS) file server.
| Restore NAS
|
monitor process
| Displays current backup and restore processes for all NAS nodes for which
an administrative user has authority. The administrative user can then
select one process to monitor.
| Monitor Process
|
cancel process
| Displays current back up and restore processes for all NAS nodes for
which an administrative user has authority. From the display, the
administrative user can select one process to cancel.
| Cancel Process
|
delete filespace
| Use the delete filespace with the class option to
display a list of file spaces belonging to a NAS node so that you may choose
one to delete.

A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:
- Regardless of client platform, NAS file system specifications use the
forward slash (/) separator, as in this example:
/vol/vol0.
- NAS file system designations on the command line require brace delimiters
{} around the file system names, such as: {/vol/vol0}.
- Note:
- When you initiate a NAS restore operation using the command line client, the
server starts a process to initiate, control, and monitor the
operation. It may take several moments before you notice progress at
the command line client interface because the server must perform mount and
other necessary tasks before data movement occurs. Tivoli Storage
Manager may display an Interrupted
... message when the mount occurs. You can
gnore this message.
