How to block access to backed up items
You can block access to backed-up items from Backup Exec. Backup Exec takes as input the list of items that need to be blocked from restore. Backup Exec honors the blocked items during restore and ensures integrity and protection of the blocked items' information.
Ensure that you have a list of the items that need to be blocked from restore. You can use any tool to create a list of the blocked items. The list must be in a CSV file format and contain the item path and server information for every blocked item.
All import and export command-related operations and restore job executions are recorded in the audit log and Windows Event Log.
The restore job log contains the information that the blocked items are not restored. The actual file names are not listed.
To block access to backed up items
-
Import the CSV file containing the list of blocked items in Backup Exec using the
Import-BEItemsToBlockBEMCLI command.
You can export this imported list of blocked items to a different location by using the
Export-BEItemsBlocked BEMCLI command. The exported CSV file is your backup of blocked items.
-
On the Backup and Restore tab, right-click the server for which you want to restore data, and then click Restore.
-

Select File and folder backups to a point-in-time,File and folder backups from a backup set, orFiles and folders located through Search.
The list of blocked items that were imported are not available when you select files and folders. When the blocked items have to be restored, Backup Exec allows only the SLA owner to restore these items and reason for restore is recorded in the audit log.
-
Follow the Restore Wizard prompts to restore the data.
