Performing Unstructured Data Recovery

You can restore entire file share or specific files and folders. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Click All > Veeam > Unstructured Data > Restore Sessions.
2. Click New.
3. Specify the name of the restore session.
4. Select the backup and the restore point.
5. Select the restore type:
   • To restore entire file share, in the Type drop-down list, select Entire File Share Restore. If you want to restore the file share to a new location, specify the destination server and destination folder path.
   • To restore specific files and folders, in the Type drop-down list, select File Restore. Then, specify paths to the objects in the Items To Restore field.

     Note

     Consider the following: If you restore files and folders from the file server, specify a full path to the objects. For example, C:\Documents or C:\Documents\file.txt. If you restore files and folders from the file share, specify a relative path to the objects, without the file share path. For example, for the file.txt file stored in the \\srv01\share1\Folder1, the path will be \Folder1\file.txt.

6. If the file with the same name already exists in the target folder and you want to override it with the restored one, select the Overwrite Existing Files check box.
7. To allow a specific user group to run this session, unlock the User Groups field and select a user group from the list.
8. Click Submit. The restore session starts immediately. Restore session states are automatically updated every hour using REST API requests.
