Restore to a Different Location
This section describes a simple restore of selected files from the backup media created in the previous section. This will illustrate many of the restore features available in Data Protector Express.
1.Ensure that the device is powered on and insert the backup media into it.
2.Select Tasks in the Navigation bar and double click the Restore icon.
3.Enter a name for the restore job, such as “My First Restore” and click OK.
4.Select folders and files to restore.
Navigate down the network, machine, and file system to locate the files that you included in your first backup. In this view, only files and folders that have been backed up will appear. Check the box to select the files/folders to be restored. Checking the box next to a folder, selects all of its subfolders and the files in them.
5.For this first restore job, restore the files to a different location so you can compare the original files with the restored files.
To do this, use the move functionality. Click on the Move icon in the Tool bar.
HP recommends that you create a new folder to hold the restored files. In the Select destination for move operation dialog, select the C: drive, click on the New command, enter a name for your newly restored folder and click OK.
Select the new folder as the destination for the move operation and click OK.
Your new folder is now visible under the C: drive. Expand the folder to see how the files will be visible after the restore job is finished. You can refine the restore selection by clicking in the boxes to select or deselect the required folders and files. Only the selected folders and files will be restored.
As you navigate the restore view you will see a list of file and folder versions at the bottom of the view. That list represents each backup that the selected object was backed up in. When multiple versions of a file have been backed up, they will appear in this list and can be selected. If you don't select an item in the version list, the most recently backed up version will be restored.
6.Select the device containing your backup. Click on the Devices link in the Task bar as in the configuration of the backup job.
7.You may ignore the Configuration and Advanced links for this example.
