Use this dialog box to control how the specified Volume Level data is to be restored.
Restore as
- Physical Volumes
Select this option to restore the selected content as a physical volume.
- VMDK files
Select this option to restore the selected content as an entire virtual machine file.
- Virtual Hard Disk file
Select this option to restore the selected content as a virtual hard disk file.
Destination Client/Computer/Server
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 the following clients:
-
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 Paths and Destinations
Lists the volume to be restored and the destination volume. If no destination volume is specified, the system attempts to restore to a volume with the same name as the one being restored. If no volume with this name exists on the destination computer, the restore will fail.
Caution
For Volume Level Restores, the volume file system is overwritten with the restored file system. Consequently, any data that was on the volume before the restore operation is lost.
Destination Volume
Specifies the volume to which the data will be restored. The destination volume must meet all of the criteria for volumes that are backed up by the Image Level iDataAgent. The volume must correspond to a physical disk or RAID array attached to the client. A volume created by volume management software (for example, LDM, VxVM) is not a valid subclient entry.
The target volume must be at least as large as the volume from which the data was backed up. For Image Level on Unix, only CXBF configured volumes are available for restore.
Specify a destination volume, or click Browse to browse and select one; once you have specified or selected a destination volume, click Apply.
Browse
Click to select a path for the Destination Volume.
Apply
Click to apply the selected volume as the destination volume.
Advanced
Click to select additional restore options.
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 run from the Command Line Interface using qoperation execute command.
When you save an operation as a script, each option in the dialog box has a corresponding XML element in the script file. When you run the script, you can modify the value in any of these XML elements.
