Search Avamar backups for a file or folder

in

Do you get requests to restore a file or folder from Avamar only to have the user have no idea where it was actually located? Do you not have Data Protection Search?

Well, here is a fairly easy way to get the location you need from Avamar CLI.

Log in as admin through your favorite SSH client and run

avtar --list --account=path_of_client --after="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" --before="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" --verbose | grep file_name

where

path_of_client is the Avamar domain location of the system /clients/servername

file_name is a file or folder name you want to find.
