Restore Options (General)

Updated

Use this dialog box to control how the specified File Level data is to be restored.

Restore ACLs

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 only the backed up data can be restored and inherits permissions from the parent directory in the destination. Clear this option if you want to restore ACLs instead of data.

Restore Both Data and ACLs

Specifies that the backed up data and data to which the Access Control Lists (ACLs) have been applied will be restored. Clearing this option will not restore the backed up data nor the data to which the ACLs have been applied.

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.

Unconditionally overwrite only if target is a DataArchiver stub

Specifies whether a stub will be unconditionally overwritten during restore.

Restore Data instead of stub

The Restore Data instead of stub check box is selected by default. The backed up data will be restored instead of the stub.

Clearing this option will restore only the stub to the specified destination path and will not restore the data.

Restore Destination

  • Proxy Client/Computer/Server

    Displays the name of the proxy computer using which the selected data will be restored. To change the proxy 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. (Refer to the topic titled Cross Platform Restore Operations in Books Online for additional information.)

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

  • Restore/Recover 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

    se 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.

Preserve Source Paths

Specifies the action taken when the data is restored to another destination. The options are available only when the Restore to Same Paths option is cleared.

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 folder is \temp, the data will be restored as \temp\Sales. (This option becomes available only when the Restore to Same Paths option is cleared.)

The value of n is calculated based on the Current Selected object in the Browse and Restore window of the CommCell Console.

Impersonate User

Specifies to provide a valid account, username and password to be used when configuring a UNC Path as part of the subclient content.

  • User Name

Use this space to type the valid user name for the account.

  • New Password

Use this space to type the correct password for the account.

  • Confirm Password

Use this space to retype the password for confirmation.

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.Advanced
