Use this dialog box to schedule or immediately run a restore job.
Restore ACLs
For NetApp file servers, select this option to restore Access Control Lists (ACLs) along with file data. For all other NAS vendors, ACLs are always restored with file data.
Use Direct Access Restore
Specifies whether the restore operation searches only for the specified files and then restore each one separately as an individual restore job. Select this option to restore smaller amounts of data faster. Note that when dealing with a large number of files, this option is not faster.
Restore Destination
-
Destination Client
Displays the name of the NAS client (or other client with an operating system that supports cross-platform restores) to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination computer, select one from the list.
-
Restore to same folder
By default, data is restored to the same computer from which it was backed up. To restore to a different computer, clear this option.
-
Specify destination path
Use this space to 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. You can also click Browse to specify the destination path.
Ensure that the specified path is within an existing volume.
Preserve Source Paths
Select this option to determine how you want data restored to another computer.
Note
The following options are available only when you clear the Restore to same folder check box in the Restore Options dialog box.
-
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,
-
You selected Documents\Memos\Sales for restore.
-
Set the Preserve n levels from end of the source path option to 1
-
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,
-
Data you selected for restore is Documents\Memos\Sales
-
Set the Remove n levels from beginning of the source path option to 1
-
The destination folder is \temp, the data will be recovered as \temp\Memos\Sales.
-
