Backup and Restore Operations with the EMC Legato NetWorker Client
This section describes special procedures EMC Legato NetWorker users must use in
order to perform backup and restore operations on the SnapServer.
Add the SnapServer as a Root User
For backup operations, NetWorker requires that the SnapServer be configured as a
root user. To add the SnapServer root user as one of the administrators, use the
following procedure:
1 Open the NetWorker Administrator application.
2 Click the Configuration tab.
3 Click the User Groups menu item.
4 Click on the Administrators group.
5 In the Configuration box, add one of the following:
user=root@hostname
where hostname is the host name of the SnapServer for each SnapServer.
Or, enter:
user=root
to add root for all SnapServers.
6 Click OK.
Recover and Retrieve Operations
The EMC Legato NetWorker administrative interface does not support data
recovery operations from a remote client for a Linux-based operating system such
as the GuardianOS. To recover data, you must execute one of the following CLI
commands from a SSH client.
• Recover — The
recover command restores data from a normal backup job.
• Nsrretrieve — The
retrieve command restores data from an archive.
