Recovery of NetBak PC Agent Backups

There is no recovery option built into the NetBak PC Agent. It only opens the HDP Backup Explorer in Firefox. Browsing through folders is very slow. When trying to restore a folder with around 400 files, it says “too many files.” When I open the folder and select all the included files, the restore proceeds. However, I can’t choose the restore path; it just starts downloading a ZIP file containing the recovered files. The problem is that the download speed is around 500–700 kb/s. Downloading my 385 GB backup would take about eight days. (NAS in LAN with 1 Gbit/s — tested with Firefox and Edge.) Creating the backup only took one hour for 385 GB. I haven’t tested the USB boot recovery since the backups are taken from a remote file server and only single Files/Folders should be restored.

Greetings,

Have you made any progress with this? I used Acronis for years and moved to Macrium Reflect 6-7 years ago. (Windows User) I don’t back up my Macs. For images I often use CloneZilla, but I decided I wanted to try NetBack Up. QNAP user since 2012.

The boot media for Acronis and Macrium both work stellar. You indicated you cannot choose a restore destination. That sounds limiting but is doable :thinking: I use a lot of VMs too and don’t usually need file or folder level recovery.

Your issue. I suggest you use the boot media. Doing so through the browser interface is likely your bottleneck. I’d be curious to hear more about what you may have tried.
