Restore

 

Restore Techniques

 

This capability is available for the initially selected tree node (directory)

 

and for tree nodes that are not hierarchically dependent on any already

 

selected tree nodes. A selected tree node is indicated by a blue check

 

mark, and a dependent tree node is indicated by a black check mark.

 

Restore Into appends the source path to the new one entered under

 

Location. For example, if the colors.mp3 file was backed up from the

 

C:\sound\songs directory and you enter \users\bing as the new path,

 

the file is restored to the C:\users\bing\sound\songs directory.

 

Restore As replaces the source path with the one entered under

 

Location. The destination path can be a new directory or an existing

 

one. You can rename the files and directories as you restore them. For

 

example, if the colors.mp3 file was backed up from the C:\sound\songs

 

directory and you enter \users\bing\colors.mp3 as the new path, the

 

file is restored to the C:\users\bing directory.

 

 

CAUTION

Consider the risk of deleting data with the Overwrite option enabled

 

when:

 

• Specifying restore under a name that already exists

 

• Entering an existing path without specifying the file or directory

 

name

 

For example, when you enter the new path \users\bing in the

 

Location text box when restoring the file colors.mp3, but you do not

 

enter the name of the file, then the colors.mp3 file will be restored as

 

bing. What used to be the bing directory is deleted and substituted with

 

the restored file.

 

 

Restoring Files in Parallel

What Is Parallel Parallel restore lets you restore files to multiple disks at the same time,

Restore? assuming that the disks have been backed up to the same device using a concurrency higher than 1. This improves the speed of the restore. This behavior is complementary to a parallel backup, where files from multiple disks are backed up concurrently to the same device.
