•Restore by Query
Requests for restores by query will be sent to the administrator. If the files were last backed up less than 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
