Hi,

we have a requirement to restore a list of files (about 1000) from a NDMP Backup (EMC Isilon). The files to be restored are randomly distributed in the file system structere. Is there a possibility to do a restore based on a source file? We have a CSV with Files to be restore (.\path\filename.ext)

Or should we better use the “restore-CvClientFileSystem” command?

thanks in advance for your help.

Alex

@AlDa - It’s not possible to restore based on the source file. You need to browse the contents from the backup job and select the required files that needs to be restored then perform the in place or out place restore. 

Refer to the below article to know more on how to perform the restores.
