Restoring multiple files with Guest files (Linux)

[Jocelyn32]

Hello,

I would like to transfer (restore) files from one backup to another server.
These are RedHat servers
Here is the beginning of my script:

Can you help me understand how to specify which files I want to restore?
And how do you choose to restore to another server?

Thank You !

Sorry I have forget the start code :

Code: Select all

$esx = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx3.local"
Find-VBRViResourcePool -Server $esx
$resourcepool = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx3.local" | Find-VBRViResourcePool
$targetnetwork = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "esx3.local" | Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq "Default_VLAN" }
$restorepoint = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM_Linux" | Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "Oracle" | Sort Creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1

I think this is the algorithm you should script:

- Power on Linux FLR appliance, using the code provided (Veeam PS)
- Enable FTP access to the restored file system (Veeam PS)
- Copy and paste files from disk mounted to the appliance, using whatever 3-party tool (supporting FTP) that you want to (3-party tool)


Thanks.

Thanks !

Do you have an example to enable ftp access ?

[veremin]

Yep, it's -EnableFTP switch that does that. Thanks.

Note that you can also use SCP and or Rsync, but you will need to know the password for the appliance, which you can set in credentials manager, or via Powershell.

Thanks !

I start the tests but how to have a fixed ip with the virtual lab ?

[veremin]

You can set a static IP for Linux FLR appliance once, using either this wizard or -IPAddress parameter of Start-VBRLinuxFilerRestore cmdlet, and leverage it as a connection point afterwards. Thanks.

Thanks, I will wait for the next request from the developers for a real test.

So I use two scripts:
A powershell script to start LFR
A bash script to transfer my files to FTP

Code: Select all

Add-PsSnapIn VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$esx = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx3.local"
Find-VBRViResourcePool -Server $esx
$resourcepool = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx3.local" | Find-VBRViResourcePool
$targetnetwork = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "esx3.local" | Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq "Default_VLAN" }
$restorepoint = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM_Linux" | Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "Oracle" | Sort Creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1
$ipaddress = "192.168.1.24"
$networkmask = "255.255.255.0"
$gateway = "192.168.1.254"

$linuxflr = Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $esx -ResourcePool $resourcepool -NetworkInfo $targetnetwork -IP $ipaddress -NetworkMask $networkmask -Gateway $gateway -EnableFTP

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

ftp -n 10.20.1.24
user root password

cd /VG_0-LV_home/oracle/oracle11/oradata/gnx
