Using instant access for MS-Windows, Standard, and Universal-Share policies

Instant access for unstructured data assets allows users to create instant access mounts from the backup images that are created with MS-Windows, Standard, or Universal-Share policies.

To manage instant access with a MS-Windows, Standard, or Universal-Share policy, a user must have the RBAC Administrator role. Or, a role with similar permissions.

You can instantly access backup copies from a local or a cloud LSU (logical storage unit) using NetBackup Instant Access APIs.

You can instantly access backup copies of universal shares from the NetBackup web UI or using the NetBackup Instant Access APIs

Note:

Instant access on Flex WORM storage requires the following services: NGINX, NFS. SAMBA, WINBIND (if Active Directory is required), SPWS, VPFS.
