autoloaders. All actions excluding the actual moving of media to the vault are done by the software solution, including queries done internally in the database to prevent the administrator from having to find media that require ejection.

The second migration of media is done to move media from the vault to a security company. This is done once a month. Data Protector provides a report on what media need to be moved to a security company.

Track the location of media that are moved to a vault. This is important when you want to restore from backups on media that were moved to a security company. Data Protector allows you to perform the following vaulting tasks:

Generate reports showing media stored at a specific location with data protection expiring in a specified time

Generate reports showing media used for backup within a specified time frame

Display a list of backup specifications that have used specified media during the backup.

Display a list of media needed for restore and the physical locations where the media are stored.

Filter media from the media view based on specific criteria, such as media with expired protection.

Restore by Query

Requests for restores by query will be sent to the administrator. If the files were last backed up less than 20 days before the request was placed, then the administrator can use the Restore by Query restore task to select the files and directories to be restored using a specified criteria. The administrator then selects the Overwrite option to replace files and directories on the disk with the versions on the media.

Complete Filesystem Restore

Requests for the restore of whole filesystems will be sent to the administrator. If the files were last backed up less than 20 days before the request is placed, then the administrator can select the objects for restore and use the Restore Into option.

With the Restore Into option selected, the object is restored with the exact directory structure to a selected directory. Use a Windows or UNIX utility to compare the restored object with the backed up object.

Restore from a Vault

To restore data from a vault, which is, for example, 3 years old, send a request to the administrator who then:
