Restoring Your Data

 

 

NOTE

With some database integrations, you can set the changed device as a

 

default restore device for all Data Protector integration restore sessions

 

(regardless of the type of integration), by clicking the Save as default

 

button.

 

Finding Needed Media

 

 

To get a list of the media on which your data is stored, go to the Media

 

property page after you select data for restore.

 

You can also find the media needed for the restore by clicking the Needed

 

Media button in the Start Session/Preview Session dialog box. This

 

dialog box appears when you start or preview the restore.

 

Previewing and Starting a Restore

 

Ensure that the media are loaded properly before starting the restore.

 

Otherwise, the media will not be detected.

 

If restoring objects selected in the Source property page of your restore,

 

use the Start or Preview buttons.

 

If also restoring objects selected in the Scoping Pane, click Start

 

Restore or Preview Restore from the Actions menu.

 

Aborting a Restore

 

Aborting a restore session stops the restore. Data processed before the

 

session was aborted is restored to the specified location.

 

To abort a restore session, click Abort in the Actions menu.

 

You can also abort restore sessions in the Data Protector Monitor

 

context.

 

Restoring Disk Images

 

A disk image restore is a sector-by-sector restore of a disk image backup.

 

Data Protector restores a complete image of the disk that was backed up

 

(as a disk image) at a certain point in time. This method is particularly

 

fast. It is available for Windows and UNIX systems.
