Restore Techniques

The following restore techniques apply to the UNIX and Windows platforms.

Restoring Files to Different Paths

By default, Data Protector restores data to the same client and directory from which it was backed up. You can restore your data to a different client system and directory. For individual files and directories, you can specify a different path and different name.

Different Location In the Destination page of your restore, you can specify a different

for an Object restore location for an object selected for restore:

•With appropriate user rights you can restore to a different client system by selecting the client system in the Target client drop-down list. By default, Data Protector restores the object using the same directory structure. For example, if the object was originally backed up from the C:\temp directory on system A, it will restore the data to the C:\temp directory on system B.

•You can restore to a different directory by selecting the Restore to new location option, and then entering or browsing for a new path in the text box. The original path is appended to the new one. For example, if data was backed up from the C:\sound\songs directory and you enter \users\bing as the new path, the data is restored to the C:\users\bing\sound\songs directory.

For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “location options for restore”.

Different Location The individual location specified under the Restore As/Into option for Individual Files overrides the default destination specified in the Destination property

page.

You can restore individual files and directories to different paths and under a different name using the Restore As/Into option available from the Source property page of your restore.
