Restoring Protected Data › How to Perform a File-Level Recovery on Linux Nodes › Review the Prerequisites

Review the Prerequisites

Consider the following options before you perform a file-level recovery:

• You have a valid recovery point and the encryption password, if any.
• You have a valid target node to recover data.
• You have verified that the Linux Backup Server supports the file system that you want to restore.

  For example, RedHat 7.x does not support the reiserfs file system. If the operating system of the Backup Server is RedHat 7.x and you want to restore the reiserfs file system, you must install the file system driver to support reiserfs. You can also use Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) Live CD to perform the file-level restore because Live CD supports all types of file system.

• You have installed the following packages on the Linux Backup Server:
  • mdadm
  • kpartx
  • lvm2
• Review the Compatibility Matrix which provides the supported operating systems, databases, and browsers.
