Use this dialog box to control how files and folders will be restored. The following options are available when you are restoring files and folders:
Restore ACLs
Select this option to restore Access Control Lists (ACLs) from the backed up files to the restored files. Clear this option to restore without ACLs; the restored files assume the ACLs of the parent directory.
Unconditional Overwrite
Specifies whether the restored data is unconditionally written to the specified location.
If cleared:
-
Files or folders whose names are the same as those in the restore path and where the backed up data is as old or older are not restored.
-
Files or folders whose names are the same as those in the restore path and where the backed up data is newer are restored.
-
Files or folders whose names are different from those in the restore path are restored.
Note
Avoid using this option whenever you run a Restore by Jobs. Otherwise, an older version of the files might be retrieved.
Restore Destination
-
Destination client
Select a proxy computer from the list. By default, the proxy computer that was used to backup a virtual machine is used to restore files and folders from the virtual machine.
-
Specify destination path
Enter the path on the destination client to which the files and folders will be restored. If the specified path does not exist, it will be created during the restore process.
Click Browse to select a path on the destination client.
Preserve Source Paths
-
Preserve n levels from end of source path
Specifies whether the restore operation must keep the specified number of levels at the end of source path of the selected data. For example, if the selected data is Documents\Memos\Sales, this option is set to 1 and the Destination path is temp, the data will be restored as \temp\Sales.
-
Remove n levels from beginning of source path
Specifies whether the restore operation must remove the specified number of levels from the beginning of source path of the selected data. For example, if the selected data is Documents\Memos\Sales, this option is set to 1 and the Destination path is \temp, the data will be restored as \temp\Sales.
Advanced
Click this button to configure advanced restore options.
Save As Script
Click to open the Save As Script dialog, which allows you to save this operation and the selected options as a script file (in XML format). The script can later be executed from the Command Line Interface using qoperation execute command.
When you save an operation as a script, each option in the dialog will have a corresponding XML parameter in the script file. When executing the script, you can modify the value for any of these XML parameters.
