Restoring Files without NDMP Host

In some cases, it might be necessary to extract files generated by the NDMP host by first restoring the NAS backup to a NDMP Plugin host machine, then using programs such as restore or tar on the restored data stream. For that purpose, select the respective NDMP data stream (not the individual files, in case use_hist is applied) and the where= option with the following format, i.e. with a greater-than sign directly followed by the absolute target path on the FD host:

* restore where=">/tmp"

NDMP files would then be extracted to the local /tmp/ directory.

Note

The quotes in the above example must be used only when using command line argument, they are not needed when editing options via the restore menu.
