Configuration

Restore Job Settings

To schedule a restore job to happen at a particular time, change the Schedule Type to Run on specific day and then set the start time and date. The service will ensure that the restore will happen at that time.

Verify Job Settings

Similar to the restore job, you can schedule a verify to happen on a particular time as well. Additionally, you can specify whether the job is a Full or a Quick verify. A full verify will compare the contents of the backup media with the source files on disk. A quick verify will only validate that the media can be read from end to end.

Advanced Settings

Advanced Restore Options

These options apply to all restore jobs regardless of the operating system.

Eject media after use

When this option is checked, Data Protector Express automatically ejects the media at the end of the job. This feature only works on devices that support software eject.

Auto Retension

When this option is checked, Data Protector Express automatically re-tensions the media at the beginning of the job. This feature winds the tape cartridge end-to-end, applying equal tension to the entire media for maximum media life and data integrity. Your device must support auto re-tension to use this feature.

Restore files that are in use

Select this option to restore the backup copy of the open file. (On Windows platforms, you can access the restored file after you restart the computer.) If you select this option, the restored file will replace your open file. As a result, your current changes may be lost.

Deselect this option to skip over all selected files that are in use. This is useful if the open files are more current than the backed up files.

Omit security information

This will remove any security information associated with the files and folders which were part of the backup. The files and folders will be restored as if they were freshly created, inheriting whatever permissions would belong to new files.

Reparse points [Windows only]

Check this option to restore the reparse point data. When this option is deselected, Data Protector Express will restore the object as a file or folder rather than as a reparse point.

Mount Points [Windows only]

When checked, Data Protector Express includes the mount point information in the restore. If this option is not checked, Data Protector Express restores the object as a directory.

Volume restrictions [Windows only]

When enabled, volume quota information will be restored.

Finalize recovery of Microsoft SQL and Exchange Server databases [Windows only]

Check this option to process database transactions when the last incremental restore is complete.
