Selecting Your Data for Restore

The Data Protector Restore context offers two possible ways of browsing objects for restore:

•Restore Objects with a list of backed up objects classified by client systems in the cell and by different data types, such as Filesystem, Disk Image, Internal Database, and so on.

•Restore Sessions with a list of filesystem sessions with all objects backed up in these sessions. You can choose to view only sessions from the last year, last month, or last week. By default, all filesystem sessions are listed. You cannot perform restore of the online database integrations from a specific backup session.

You can select either one object to perform a single restore, or multiple objects to perform a parallel restore. For more information on parallel restore, refer to “Restoring Files in Parallel” on page 300.

You can also specify a Search Interval and browse only objects backed up within a specific timeframe.

Data Protector offers the Restore by Query task, which searches for files and directories you want to restore and restores them. Refer to “Restoring by Query” on page 302.
