NDMP Service Error: Cannot restore to root filesystem /

Hi Guyz,

I'm trying to restore a file form a vbb back of a deduplicated file system of vnxe 3100. I get the following error:

42619:nsrndmp_recover: NDMP Service Error: Cannot restore to root filesystem /.

42738:nsrndmp_recover: Data server halted: The restore is aborted by operator.
42857:nsrndmp_recover: NDMP data server is aborted by operator.
42871:nsrndmp_recover: Error during File NDMP Extraction.
42840:nsrndmp_recover: NDMP recover failed.
42880:nsrndmp_recover: Error during NDMP recover

    Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility.  Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.

    You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right.  Then search for and select: "VNXe Support Forum".

    Seeing though that over 4 months has elapsed since you posted, maybe you have already found the answer (possibly opened up a ticket with support)?  If so, once relocated, consider sharing the resolution and also marking the question as "Answered" so that it can help others that have the same question.  If not, once relocated, it will then have more visibility by the community of dedicated customers, partners, and EMC employees that are eager to assist.

    I didn't really get a resolution to the above problem. However, I changed the mode of backup from vbb to dump.

    From the VNX NDMP guide:

    " VNX File Deduplication and Compression-enabled file systems can be backed up by using

    VBB and restored, using the full destructive restore (FDR) method. Backing up a deduplicated

    file system does not cause any data reduplication, because VBB operates at the block level

    (while preserving the history of the files it backs up). The data in the file system is backed

    up in its reduced form. The benefits of the space-saving storage efficiency realized in the

    production file system, from compression and file-level deduplication, flow into backups.

    However, a file-by-file restore of space-reduced files from VBB backups is not supported.

    It is recommended that a file-by-file restore be performed by using local or remotely replicated

    checkpoints using VNXSnapSure, and not from tape. "

    You cannot perform a file-by-file restore from your VBB backup, but you would be able to do so from a tar or dump style backup.

    Let us know if that helps!
