Understand the issue
Druva Restore Test Best Practices can involve product configuration, account permissions, network connectivity, or backup policy settings. The right procedure depends on whether you use Druva endpoint protection, inSync, Phoenix or a cloud workload offering. Start by identifying the exact product and whether the issue affects one endpoint, a backup policy, or an entire tenant. Avoid making changes to production retention or deleting a backup as a first troubleshooting step.
Step-by-step troubleshooting
- Identify the protected device, workload or cloud application and intended recovery point.
- Verify you have appropriate administrator or end-user restore permissions.
- Check the source backup status, retention period and the selected file or workload version.
- Test a small non-destructive restore to a separate destination where possible.
- Validate the recovered data before replacing production files or changing retention settings.
What to check before escalating
Keep a record of the time of failure, affected workload, relevant policy name, client or agent version, and a sanitized copy of the error message. If the problem is intermittent, compare the most recent successful job with the failing run. For changes involving recovery or deletion, validate a known-good restore point first.
How to confirm the issue is resolved
Run a limited backup or recovery test within your organization’s approved change process. Check the job history and verify that the protected data is recoverable. A successful login or completed backup notification alone does not prove a restore will work.
