You can restore documents, sites, libraries, and lists to the same path on the same client from where they were backed up.
About This Task
Always browse and restore a document, a sub site, a library, or a list one level higher in the destination. Else, the restore operation might fail.
For example,
-
Restore a document or a list item to a document library or a list where they need to be restored to.
-
Restore a complete document library, a list or a sub site to the root (/) of their current site collection.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > SharePoint Server > Documents.
-
Right-click the subclient, and then click Browse and Restore.
The Browse and Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
Click View Content.
-
Select the items that you want to restore, and then click Recover All Selected.
The Restore Options for All Selected Items dialog box appears.
-
Optional: If a document selected for restore already exists at the destination, by default, that document is skipped to restore during the restore operation.
To stop skipping such a document, from the Restore Options for All Selected Items dialog box, select any one of the following option:
-
To overwrite the existing document at the destination with the document that is getting restored, select Unconditional Overwrite.
-
To merge an existing version of a library or list level in a version library, select Merge.
For example: If there are three versions of a document and version two is deleted. During a restore operation, if you select Merge, and then select version two, the deleted version is restored back as version two in the version sequence.
-
To add a new version of the document in a version library, select Append.
For example: If there are three versions of a document and version two is deleted. During a restore operation, if you select Append, and then select version two, the deleted version is added as version four at the end of the version sequence.

Click OK.
Note
While restoring sites, sometimes an error occurs due to failure in importing the ghost pages. Create the additional setting bImportSkipGhostPages, and set its value to one, to skip the ghost pages while running a restore operation.
