File Level Recovery

Using snapshot options available directly on the NAS allows to restore any file to any point in time represented by a snapshot. Since snapshots have little to do with data protection, using NDMP with native format or NetApp SMTAPE option can be used to protect your NAS system from a disaster situation. Combining both techniques provides data protection with some flexibility.

On NDMP systems that support DAR, the plugin option use_hist can be used to enable the “Single Item Restore” feature. With the use_hist option, all the filenames included in a dump are stored in the Bacula catalog, and a restore session will have the ability to choose individual files or directories to restore. Only the selected files are restored on the NDMP destination system. The correct dump file is automatically selected during the file selection process.
