Restores

You can browse and restore backed up data for your subclient or an entire backup set.

Restore Methods

You can restore the backed up data by using the following methods:

  • CommCell Console

    You can perform the following restores:

    • Direct restore

    • Browse and restore

    • Find and restore

  • Explorer Plug-In

    Use the Commvault Explorer Plug-In, which is an add-on to Microsoft Windows Explorer, to access your backed-up data directly from Windows.

  • Command Line

    The command line interface provides a way to restore data from the command line, as an alternative to the CommCell Console, where various restore options can be specified either as parameters on the command line or in a separate arguments file. For more information, see Command Line documentation.
