Restore Options (General) - Online Help

Restore ACLs

Specifies that the backed up Access Control Lists (ACLs) will be restored. Files will inherit the ACLs from the parent or an ancestor directory if the parent or the ancestor directory is configured to set the ACLs recursively for the directories below it. Clear this option to restore without ACLs.

Data in device node

Specifies if data in the raw device nodes is to be restored.

Unconditionally overwrite only if target is a DataArchiver stub

Specifies whether a stub will be unconditionally overwritten during restore.

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.

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 data instead of stub

If selected, data will be restored instead of stubs.

UNIX File System

Specifies if you want to use a regular file system data restore framework.

Distributed Apps

Specifies if you want to use a distributed file system data restore framework.

Destination Client (Applies to UNIX File System)

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. (Refer to the topic titled Cross-Platform Restore Operations in Books Online for additional information.)

Destination Client (Applies to Distributed Apps)

Displays the name of the pseudo-clients to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination pseudo-client, select one from the list.

Destination Instance (Applies to Distributed Apps)

Displays the name of the distributed application instance to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination instance, select one from the list.

Restore to Same Folder

Select this option to restore in the same folder where the data already exists. If this option is selected you will be unable to specify any other destination path.

Specify Destination Path

This option is available when the destination client is not the same as the host client. Click Browse to select a path for the destination folder. Alternatively, you may enter the path.

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 folder option is cleared.

Preserve n levels from end of the 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 folder is temp, the data will be recovered as /temp/sales.

Remove n levels from beginning of the 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 recovered as /temp/memos/sales.

Impersonate User

Select this option to restore files as the impersonated user. For out-of-place restores, the user must have the necessary privileges to write to the destination directory.

Save As Script

Click to open the Save As Script dialog box, 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.
