more details on these commands, see the EMC Legato Networker Command Reference.
1 Connect to the SnapServer via SSH, and log in using the admin user name and
password.
Note SSH v2 is required. If you fail to connect to the server, ensure that your SSH
client is configured to connect via SSH v2.

su -
4 At the prompt, enter the admin user password, and press Enter.
5 To recover data from a normal backup operation, enter one of the following
commands, and press
Enter:
• To recover data to its original location:
recover -s backupservername -c snapservername -f -i “/shares/
SHARE1/data/”
-a
where /shares/SHARE1/data is the path of the data you are restoring.
• To recover data to a different location:
recover -s backupservername -c snapservername -f -i -a R -d
“/shares/SHARE1/relocated_data/”
“/shares/SHARE1/Data/”
where /shares/SHARE1/relocated_data/ is the path to the new target
location for the restore operation; and where
/shares/SHARE1/Data/ is the
path of the data you are restoring.
6 To retrieve data from an archival backup operation, enter one of the following
commands, and press
Enter:
• To retrieve data to its original location:
nsrretrieve -f -i -s backupservername -A annotation “/shares/
SHARE1
/data/”
where /shares/SHARE1/data/ is the path of the data you are restoring.
• To retrieve data to different location:
nsrretrieve -f -iR -d “/shares/SHARE1/new_dir” -s
backupservername -A
“annotation” “/shares/SHARE1/Data/”
where /shares/SHARE1/new_dir” is the path to the new target location for the
restore operation; where
annotation is the name of the EMC Legato backup;
and
/shares/SHARE1/Data/” is the path of the data you are restoring.
