In BlueXP workload factory, you can restore a volume from a backup to any FSx for ONTAP file system in your AWS account.

Workload factory determines if you have enough capacity for the restore and can automatically add SSD storage tier capacity if you don't.

Steps

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. In Storage, select Go to storage inventory.

  3. In the FSx for ONTAP tab, select the three-dot menu of the file system with the volume and then select Manage.

  4. In the file system overview, select the Volumes tab.

  5. From the Volumes tab, select the three-dot menu for the volume to restore from a backup.

  6. Select Data protection actions, FSx for ONTAP backup, and then Restore from a backup.

  7. In the Restore from a backup dialog, provide the following:

    1. Target file system: Select the target file system from the dropdown menu.

    2. Target storage VM: Select the target storage VM from the dropdown menu.

    3. Backup name: Select the backup name from the dropdown menu.

    4. Restored volume name: Enter the restored volume name.

  8. Verify file system capacity for the restore operation.

    When file system capacity is limited, the following might occur:

    • The restore can push used capacity over the threshold you specified. You can complete the restore operation. Consider manually adding SSD storage tier capacity or selecting for workload factory to automatically add SSD storage tier capacity.

    • The restore requires additional SSD capacity. You must select for workload factory to automatically add SSD storage tier capacity to proceed.

  9. Select Restore.
