Restore

Restore Options

The time on the Cell Manager and clients must be synchronized for the Omit Deleted Files option to function properly.

Move Busy Files This option is relevant if a file on the disk is being used by an application when a restore wants to replace this file. The option is used with the Keep most recent or Overwrite options. By default, this option is disabled.

On UNIX systems, Data Protector moves the busy file filename to #filename (adds a hash in front of the filename). The application will keep using the busy file until it closes the file. Subsequently, the restored file is used.

On Windows systems, the file is restored as filename.001. All applications keep using the old file. When the system is rebooted, the old file is replaced with the restored file.

List Restored Data When this option is enabled, Data Protector displays the names of the files and directories in the monitor window as the objects are being restored. By default, this option is disabled.

Display Statistical Information When this option is enabled, Data Protector reports statistical information (such as size and performance) for each object that is restored. You can view the information in the monitor window. By default, this option is disabled.

Omit Unrequired Incrementals This option enables repositioning within a medium when restoring individual files of a specific object. The Media Agent restores a specific item, repositions itself directly on the next requested item, and continues the restore. This improves restore performance when restoring multiple single files. Note that several Disk Agents may be started per object. Disable this option if you intend to restore empty directories. By default, this option is enabled.
