Overview

Druva runs restore pre-checks for File-Level Restores. These checks look for issues that can cause your restore job to fail before the restore has even started. You must fix any identified issues before restoring your data. The following sections describe the restore pre-checks for each type of restore and remedial actions you must take in case of pre-check failures.

📝 Note

To run restore pre-checks, the NAS proxies in the pool must have agent version 6.0.0 or later. Otherwise, the pre-checks are not performed.

NAS restore pre-checks

The following checks are performed while restoring at the original location or an alternate location.

Restore pre-checks	Recommendations if the checks fail
Agent version check	Upgrade agent to the latest version to run pre-checks. You can click Proceed to Restore to trigger the restore request or click Cancel to go back to the Restore target screen.
Connection check	Check that the pool has at least one Windows-connected proxy for SMB restore and at least one Linux-connected proxy for NFS restore.
Mount check	Fix the mount issues corresponding to the following errors: The network name cannot be found. For more information, see PHOENIX380. The network path was not found. For more information, see PHOENIX381. The network location cannot be reached. For more information, see PHOENIX382. A device attached to the system is not functioning.

After fixing any identified issues, you can click Rerun Pre-checks to rerun the checks and initiate the restore once all checks have succeeded. Though you can skip the pre-checks and proceed with the restore, we recommend running the pre-checks and running the restore only after all checks have succeeded.
