Hello,

 

Is this a normal behaviour so that when you are trying to restore 1 file or maybe 2 files from granular browse of a VM and it restores that file together with all of it’s dirs leading to it? I mean the whole path. 

 

It should only restore the file into your selected location without any paths leading to it?

We are restoring 1 file ‘19339’ to ‘Restore_Test_Feb22’ dir but you can see it restores whole path to it.


[root@no01lastst Restore_Test_Feb22]# ls
vg00-root
[root@no01lastst Restore_Test_Feb22]# cd vg00-root
[root@no01lastst vg00-root]# ls
tmp
[root@no01lastst vg00-root]# cd tmp
[root@no01lastst tmp]# ls
hsperfdata_root
[root@no01lastst tmp]# cd hsperfdata_root
[root@no01lastst hsperfdata_root]# ls
19339

 

Ideally it should be restored like this?

[root@no01lastst Restore_Test_Feb22]# ls

19339

Hi Benjaminas,

yes, setting “Preserve 0 level from end of the source path” should do the trick.

Hi Benjaminas,

do you have the option “Remove n levels from beginning of source path” in the restore dialog?

I know that this is not available in Command Center, but maybe in the JavaGUI?

Cheers

Johannes

@benjaminas 

Johannes got it right. The expectation is that we would restore just the fle and not the whole folder path.

 

Can you provide some screen shots here with what you are doing? Feel free to block out any sensitive info!

Hi @Johannes Keil , @Dan White 

 

I have this: 

 

Should I select ‘0’?
