Step 6. Start Restore Process

You can perform data restore in one of the following ways:

Restoring Files from Backup

To start the process of data restore from a backup file, use the following command:

veeamconfig backup restore --id <backup_id> [--method <1|2|3>] [--ExcludeDirs <dir_list>]

or

veeamconfig backup restore --path <vbm_path> [--method <1|2|3>] [--ExcludeDirs <dir_list>]

 

where:

If you do not specify the restore method, Veeam Agent will use the default Use order algorithm for bare metal recovery.

 

 

For example:

root@srv01:/# veeamconfig backup restore --id 12cfddd6-3bd1-44ae-baa1-653eb909e92e
Restoring file-level backup.
Backup: [12cfddd6-3bd1-44ae-baa1-653eb909e92e]
File-level restore from backup has started.
Session ID: [{cab490e6-3744-4a12-b8d6-deff4f1da640}].
Logs stored in: [/var/log/veeam/Restore/Session_{cab490e6-3744-4a12-b8d6-deff4f1da640}].

 

Restoring Files from Restore Point

To start the restore process from a restore point, use the following command:

veeamconfig point restore --id <point_id> [--method <1|2|3>] [--ExcludeDirs <dir_list>]

 

where:

If you do not specify the restore method, Veeam Agent will use the default Use order algorithm for bare metal recovery.

 

 

For example:

root@srv01:/# veeamconfig point restore --id 6303185a-37fe-460a-8e6c-65746708fe77
Restoring point.
Restore point: 6303185a-37fe-460a-8e6c-65746708fe77
File-level restore by point has been started.
Session ID: [{697d9348-9001-4845-8764-3cc4fb3f296b}].
Logs stored in: [/var/log/veeam/Restore/Session_{697d9348-9001-4845-8764-3cc4fb3f296b}].
