Restoring Data 37
Using Windows Explorer and WebDAV
The Barracuda Backup Server supports the web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning
(WebDAV) protocol, which defines how users can access and manage documents on a remote server.
This option is used:
• For file share data only.
• Only if you are on the same network as the local Barracuda Backup Server.
Most Internet browsers have a WebDAV client. In the browser address bar, type http://< Barracuda
Backup Server IP Address >:8080 to connect directly to the local Barracuda Backup Server.
Windows users can restore data from the local Barracuda Backup Server using the built-in Windows
Explorer as follows:
1.
On a Windows system, go to My Network Places.
2.
On the sidebar, click Add Network Place to start the wizard.
3.
Select Choose Another Network Location and click Next .
4.
Enter http://< Barracuda Backup Server IP Address >:8080 and then click Next .
5.
Your account must have administrator rights to restore files. The username and password are the
same as those used to access the Barracuda Backup web interface.
6.
Follow the instructions to finish the connection.
7.
Once you are connected you are presented with a list of directories on the Barracuda Backup
Server. The directories are labeled by year and include subdirectories for each month, and within
each month there is a directory for each day. Each daily directory contains folders for the servers
and directory shares that are deployed on the Barracuda Backup Server. The data files that can
be restored are located within each server's directory share.
8.
You can select and restore files by right clicking on them, or you can drag and drop files from
the Barracuda Backup Server to a directory on your network or local system.
