Examples

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.

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.
