Restoring Your Data

A restore is a process that recreates the original data from a backup copy on a disk. This process consists of the preparation and actual restore of the data, and optionally some post-restore actions that make the data ready for use.

Data Protector includes an internal database (IDB) that keeps track of data, including what files from which system are kept on a particular medium. The IDB provides fast and convenient access to the data to be restored.

Data Protector offers you some special restore features:

•The ability to restore on different levels: session, client, object, directory, specific file, or specific file version

•The option to specify an alternative location to restore your data

•Cross-platform restore

•Parallel restore of multiple objects from a session, on a client, or in a cell

Depending on the platform, the way you specify these features and available options can vary.
