Restore
A step-by-step process for restoring MariaDB workload backups using Zmanda Pro's backupmanager.
Prerequisites
Make sure Backup Manager login command is run and configurations are loaded before starting with restore
Ensure Zmanda Pro is installed and properly configured on the client machine
Backup Manager must be installed on the client machine
You must know the Protected Item (PI) name and the Storage Information name used for backups
The device on which you are running the restore must be connected to the Zmanda Pro server on which the chosen protected backups exist
Restores Triggered from the Client machine
