Viewing Restore Points in Backup

You can view information about restore points in the backup. You can also list files contained in a restore point.

Viewing Information About Restore Points

To view information about restore points in the backup, you can use one of the following commands:

veeamconfig backup info --id <backup_id>

veeamconfig point list --backupid <backup_id> [--all]

where:

<backup_id> — ID of the backup whose restore points you want to view.
--all — instructs Veeam Agent to display information about the restore points in the backup that was created by Veeam Agent for IBM AIX on another machine.

For example:

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig backup info --id 4f75bb20-a6b6-4323-9287-1c6c8ceccb6b

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig point list --backupid 4f75bb20-a6b6-4323-9287-1c6c8ceccb6b

Veeam Agent for IBM AIX displays the following information about restore points in the backup:

Parameter	Description
Job name	Name of the backup job by which the backup was created.
OIB ID	ID of the restore point in the backup.
Type	Type of the restore point. Possible values: Full Increment
Created at	Date and time of the restore point creation.
Is corrupt	Indicates whether restore point in the backup is corrupted. Possible values: True False
Retention	Displays information about enabled long-term retention per each type: weekly (W), monthly (M) and yearly (Y).

For example:

user@unixsrv:~$ veeamconfig point list --backupid bd99e384-b62f-47dc-ad38-f0b3dc5d3c40

Job name OIB ID Type Created at Is corrupt Retention

unixsrv system backup {9cc7eded-0792-4a49-ac29-cf02d40b1a7d} Full 2024-06-18 07:38 false WM

unixsrv system backup {691a8478-5334-4c42-8c35-3d170ba2bf00} Increment 2024-06-19 08:29 false

Listing Files in Restore Point

To view the list of files in a restore point, run the following command:

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig point files --id <point_id>

where <point_id> is the ID of the restore point whose files you want to list.

For example:

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig point files --id 9cc7eded-0792-4a49-ac29-cf02d40b1a7d

Tip

If the restore point contains a large number of files, you may want to send the output of the veeamconfig point files command to a file. To do this, specify the path to the output file — for example, veeamconfig point files --id 9cc7eded-0792-4a49-ac29-cf02d40b1a7d > /tmp/files.list.
