Restoring Your Data to a Shared Disk

Data Protector allows you to restore UNIX and Windows data to a Windows shared disk, even if the data was not originally backed up from the shared disk. The Data Protector user account and its Inet service must have permission to access the remote computer and permission on the Disk Agent client. Refer to “Setting the User Account for the Data Protector Inet Service” on page 187 for more information on how to use the appropriate logon account.

Here are some cases in which one would restore a UNIX or Windows filesystem to a Windows shared disk:

•If the system is not part of the Data Protector cell and does not have the Data Protector Disk Agent installed.

•If you are restoring to platforms not directly supported by Data Protector, such as Windows for Workgroups or Windows 3.1 systems.

•If you want to make the data available from several systems.

NOTE	When you restore your data to a different filesystem type than it was
	backed up from (UNIX to Windows), filesystem-specific attributes may
	be lost.

How to Restore to In the Destination property page of your restore, you can specify the

a Shared Disk target client and a Windows shared disk as a new location for the data you want to restore. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “shared disks, restoring to”.
