Restore Options (General) for Index Server Cloud

Use this dialog box to control how data weill be restored. This dialog box is also used for selecting options related to scheduled or non-scheduled search and restore operations.

Restore ACLs Only

Specifies that the backed up Access Control Lists (ACLs) will be applied to files that have been restored without their ACLs, or to the existing files at the restore destination. Clear this option to restore without ACLs and consequently the data assumes the ACLs of the parent directory.

Restore Data Only

Specifies that the files will be restored without their original ACLs. Files and folders will inherit the permissions of their parent folder or drive.

Restore Both Data and ACLs

Specifies that all data will be restored with its original access control lists (for example, ACL) and therefore its original security attributes.

Overwrite Files

• Overwrite if file in backup is newer

  If selected, this option will overwrite the existing file with the file that was backed up/archived to the media provided the backed up/archived file is newer than the existing file.

• Unconditional Overwrite

  Specifies whether the restored data is unconditionally written to the specified location.

  If cleared:

  • Files/directories 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/directories whose names are the same as those in the restore path and where the backed up data is newer are restored.

  • Files/directories 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 only if target exists

  If selected, this option will only restore files that currently exist in the restore path. Files that exist on the media but not in the restore path will not be restored.

Restore Destination

• Destination client

  Displays the name of the client computer to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination computer, select one from the list. The list includes clients:

  • Which are established as clients within the CommCell.

  • Clients with Operating Systems that support the cross-platform restore operation from this client.

  By default, data is restored to the same computer from which it was backed up.

• Restore to same folder

  Specifies whether the restore operation will restore data to the same path from which it was backed up in the Destination Computer. (Clear this option to restore to a different path and activate the Destination folder box.)

• Specify Destination path

  Enter the path on the destination computer to which the data will be restored. If the specified path does not exist, it will be created during the restore process.

Browse

Click to select a path for the Destination folder.

Preserve Source Paths

Select this option to determine how you want data restored to another computer.

• Preserve n levels from end of the source path

  Select this option to keep a specific number of levels at the end of the source path of the selected data.

  For example,

  1. You selected Documents\Memos\Sales for restore.

  2. Set the Preserve n levels from end of the source path option to 1

  3. The destination folder is temp, the data will be recovered as \temp\Sales.

     Note

     If you are restoring a file in a path with valid wildcard expressions, you cannot change the default value of 1 for the option. Only the last found occurrence of the file is recovered, and the recovered data for all the other occurrences of the file are overwritten.

• Remove n levels from beginning of the source path

  Select this option to remove the specified number of levels from the beginning of the source path of the selected data.

  For example,

  1. Data you selected for restore is Documents\Memos\Sales

  2. Set the Remove n levels from beginning of the source path option to 1

  3. The destination folder is \temp, the data will be recovered as \temp\Memos\Sales.

Advanced

Click to select additional 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.
