Detailed Description

This cmdlet restores data from the tape device to an NDMP server.

For SMTape backup restore to the NetApp NDMP server, the target volume specified in the Path parameter must already exist on the target NetApp SVM as a Data Protection volume in restricted state.

Note

You can restore entire volumes only.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
EnableVolumeWriteAccess	For NetApp NDMP volume restore to another location. Enables the option to make the target Data Protection volume available for write operations after the recovery is finished.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
Path	For restore to another location. Specifies the path to the volume on the target NDMP server. Veeam Backup & Replication will restore the data to that volume.	`String`	True	Named	False
PreserveFolderHierarchy	For restore to another location. Defines that Veeam Backup & Replication will preserve folder hierarchy.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
RestorePoint	Specifies the restore point to which you want to restore the selected volume. Accepts the `VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint` cmdlet.	`VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint`	True	Named	False
RunAsync	Defines that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
Server	For restore to another location. Specifies the target NDMP server. Veeam Backup & Replication will restore the volumes to that server. Accepts the `VBRNDMPServerBase` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRNDMPServer` cmdlet.	`VBRNDMPServerBase`	True	Named	False
ToOriginalLocation	Defines that the cmdlet will start the restore to the original NDMP server. Note: This option is not available for restores from NetApp SMTape backups.	`SwitchParameter`	True	Named	False

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

The cmdlet returns the CRestoreSession object that contains the restore session details.

Examples

Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore Example 1. Restoring Data from Tape to Original NDMP Server [Using Variable]

This example shows how to restore data from tape to an original NDMP server.

$volume = Get-VBRNDMPVolume -Name "/svm-cifs/Exchange_vol"

$restorepoint = Get-VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint -Volume $volume

Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint -ToOriginalLocation

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRNDMPVolume cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $volume variable.
Run the Get-VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint cmdlet. Set the $volume variable as the Volume parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
Run the Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Provide the ToOriginalLocation parameter.

Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore Example 2. Restoring Data from Tape to Another NDMP Server [Using Variable]

This example shows how to restore data from tape to another NDMP server named NetApp.tech.local.

$volume = Get-VBRNDMPVolume -Name "/svm-cifs/Exchange_vol"

$restorepoint = Get-VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint -Volume $volume

$ndmpserver = Get-VBRNDMPServer -Name "NetApp.tech.local"

Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $ndmpserver -Path "/svm-cifs/ks_tapes"

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRNDMPVolume cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $volume variable.
Run the Get-VBRNDMPVolumeRestorePoint cmdlet. Set the $volume variable as the Volume parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
Run the Get-VBRNDMPServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ndmpserver variable.
Run the Start-VBRNDMPVolumeRestore cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Set the $ndmpserver variable as the Server parameter value. Specify the Path parameter value.
