Search backups of Azure NetApp Files volumes

  • Article

The names used for snapshots are preserved when the snapshots are backed up. Snapshot names include the prefix daily, weekly, or monthly. They also include the timestamp when the snapshot was created.

If a volume is deleted, its backups are retained. The backups are listed in the associated backup vault, under the Backups section. This list includes all backups within the backup vault in the region. It can be used to restore a backup to a volume in another NetApp account under the same subscription.

Important

All existing backups must be migrated to backup vaults. You can search for backups, but you are unable to perform any operations on a backup until the backup has been migrated to a backup vault. For more information about this procedure, see Manage a backup vault.

Search backups from backup vault

  1. Select Backups.

  2. In the Search Backups field, enter the backup name that you want to search for.

    A partial search is supported; you don’t have to specify the entire backup name. The search filters the backups based on the search string.

Search backups at volume level

You can display and search backups at the volume level:

  1. Select Volumes.

  2. If you have migrated to a backup vault, navigate to Backup Vault. Select the backup vault. If you have not yet migrated to a backup vault, navigate to Backups.
    The Type column shows whether the backup is generated by a Scheduled (policy-based) or a manual backup.

  3. In the Search Backups field, enter the backup name that you want to search for.

    A partial search is supported; you don’t have to specify the entire backup name. The search filters the backups based on the search string.
