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.
Restore ACLs Only
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 the files will be restored without their original ACLs. Files and folders will inherit the permissions of their parent folder or drive.
Restore Both Data and ACLs
Specifies that all data will be restored with its original access control lists (for example, ACL) and therefore its original security attributes.
Unconditionally overwrite only if target is a DataArchiver stub
Specifies whether a stub will be unconditionally overwritten during restore.
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.
-
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.
-
Recreate Mount Points
Selection of this check box allows for the creation of Mount Points.
Restore Destination
-
Destination Client/Proxy Client
Displays the name of the client computer to which the selected data will be restored. To change the destination computer or 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.
-
-
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.
-
Use Multiple Nodes
Specifies whether multiple nodes will be used for the restore job. Use multi-node restores only when you want to perform restores to distributed or network file systems such as NFS and CIFS mounted across multiple machines. Click Advanced, and then on the Advanced Restore Options - Data Access Nodes tab, select the nodes for the restore job.
Note: The destination volume must be shared across all the restore nodes and it must be accessible from all the nodes.
-
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
Use 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.
On Windows computers, UNC path of a shared drive can be specified. (e.g., \\servername\sharename\directory). Click the Advanced button and enter the Windows logon information for this shared drive in the Advanced Restore Options dialog box.
Browse
Click to select a path for the Destination folder.
Preserve Source Paths
Select this option to determine how you want data restored to another computer.
Note
The following options are available only when you clear the Restore to same folder check box in the Restore Options dialog box.
-
Preserve n levels from end of the source path
Select this option to keep a specific number of levels at the end of the source path of the selected data.
For example,
-
You selected Documents\Memos\Sales for restore.
-
Set the Preserve n levels from end of the source path option to 1
-
The destination folder is temp, the data will be recovered as \temp\Sales.
Note
If you are restoring a file in a path with valid wildcard expressions, you cannot change the default value of 1 for the option. 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
Select this option to remove the specified number of levels from the beginning of the source path of the selected data.
For example,
-
Data you selected for restore is Documents\Memos\Sales
-
Set the Remove n levels from beginning of the source path option to 1
-
The destination folder is \temp, the data will be recovered as \temp\Memos\Sales.
-
Impersonate User
Select this option when you are restoring to a UNC Path.
Username
Enter the username for the user account which has permissions to create files in the destination folder.
Password
Enter the password for the user account.
Confirm Password
Re-enter the password.
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.
