Users cannot perform self-service restoration of stubs. However, an administrator may restore specific stubs or sets of stubs from snapshots by following the procedure outlined below. Be sure to provide this procedure to all administrators.
IMPORTANT: The following instructions mandate the use of Robocopy specifically. Other tools, such as Windows Explorer copy or the 'Restore' function in the Previous versions dialog, WILL NOT correctly restore stubs.
To restore one or more stubs from a snapshot-folder like:
\\<filer>\<share>~snapshot\<snapshot-name>\<path>
to a restore folder on the same Filer like:
\\<filer>\<share>\<restore-path>
perform the following steps:

  1. Go Navigate to an FileFly FPolicy Server machine

  2. Open a command window

  3. robocopy <snapshot-folder> <folder> [<filename>…] [/b]

  4. On a client machine (NOT the FileFly FPolicy Server), open all of the restored file(s) or demigrate them using a Demigrate Policy

    • Check that the file(s) have demigrated correctly
