Restore on-premises files from a backup point to the original path, a new path, an ECS instance, or a different on-premises server. The destination ECS instance or server must have a backup client installed.

Prerequisites

  • Your on-premises files are backed up with at least one available backup point. Back up on-premises files.

  • You have prepared a restore destination.

    • The restore destination can be the source on-premises server, an ECS instance, or a new on-premises server.

    • The backup client is installed on the ECS instance. In the Cloud Backup console, on the ECS File Backup Standard Edition page, the Client Status must be Activated. Cloud Backup supports automatic client installation on ECS instances.

    • The backup client is installed on the new on-premises server. In the console, on the On-Premises File Backup page, its Client Status must be Activated. The client supports Linux and Windows: Download and activate a Windows client, Download and activate a Linux client.

Billing

Restoring files is free, but software usage fees or outbound traffic fees may apply depending on the restore method. Billing methods and billable items.

Important

  • If you restore files to a new path on the source on-premises server, you must create the path in advance.

  • If you restore files to an ECS instance, install the backup client first (automatic installation is available on the ECS File Backup Standard Edition page). No software usage fee is charged if the client has no backup points (no backup plan created). If backup points exist, standard software usage and storage fees apply.

  • If you restore files to a different on-premises server, install the backup client first. Billing methods and billable items.

    • If the client has no backup points, no software usage fee applies.

    • If the client has backup points, standard software usage fees and storage fees apply.

    • Restoring over the public internet incurs an outbound traffic fee.

    Alternatively, you can click the image icon on the right side of the backup history to switch the display mode, click the target backup point, and then select Restore.
