Use this dialog box to control how the specified data is to be restored. This dialog box is also used for selecting options related to scheduled or non-scheduled search and restore operations.
Overwrite
-
Overwrite if file on media 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 Destination
-
File System
Click to restore the Azure Blob Storage data to a local file system.
-
Cloud
Click to restore the Azure Blob Storage data to the cloud.
-
Destination Client (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.)
By default, data is restored to the same computer from which it was backed up.
-
-
Destination Client (Cloud)
Displays the name of the Azure Blob Storage virtual client or the proxy client computer to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination virtual client or the proxy client computer, select one from the list.
By default, data is restored to the same virtual client or the proxy client computer from which it was backed up.
-
Destination Instance (Cloud)
Displays the Azure Blob Storage instance under the Azure Blob Storage virtual client to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination instance, select one from the list.
This option appears if you selected an Azure Blob Storage virtual client in the Destination Client box.
-
Cloud Storage (Cloud)
Displays the destination Azure Blob Storage service account name to which the selected data will be restored. To change the Azure Blob Storage service account, select one from the list.
-
Number of Streams
Specifies the recommended number of simultaneous data streams to use for the restore job.
Note: The actual number of streams used depends on the restore data set and the number of streams used to back up data.
-
Host URL (Cloud)
Type the Azure Blob Storage service account URL.
-
Azure Account Name (Cloud)
Type the name of the Azure Blob Storage service account.
-
Access Key (Cloud)
Type the secret access key of your Azure Blob Storage service account.
-
Verify Access Key (Cloud)
Re-type the secret access key of your Azure Blob Storage service account.
-
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.
On UNIX computers, UNC path of a shared drive can be specified. (e.g., /finite/nftest/test).
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.
However, if this option is used to restore a file in a path that contains any valid wildcard expression (e.g., documents/**/sales), the default value of 1 for the option cannot be changed. Therefore, 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
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.
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.
For more information on restores performed from the command line, see Command Line Interface for UNIX File System iDataAgent.
