Restore Techniques

The following restore techniques apply to the UNIX and Windows
platforms.

Restoring Files to Different Paths

By default, Data Protector restores data to the same client and directory
from which it was backed up. You can restore your data to a different
client system and directory. For individual files and directories, you can
specify a different path and different name.

Different Location
for an Object

In the

Destination

page of your restore, you can specify a different

restore location for an object selected for restore:

• With appropriate user rights you can restore to a different client

system by selecting the client system in the

Target client

drop-down list. By default, Data Protector restores the object using
the same directory structure. For example, if the object was originally
backed up from the

C:\temp

directory on system A, it will restore

the data to the

C:\temp

directory on system B.

• You can restore to a different directory by selecting the

Restore to

new location

option, and then entering or browsing for a new path

in the text box. The original path is appended to the new one. For
example, if data was backed up from the

C:\sound\songs

directory

and you enter

\users\bing

as the new path, the data is restored to

the

C:\users\bing\sound\songs

directory.

For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “location
options for restore”.

Different Location
for Individual Files

The individual location specified under the

Restore As/Into

option

overrides the default destination specified in the

Destination

property

page.

You can restore individual files and directories to different paths and
under a different name using the

Restore As/Into

option available

from the

Source

property page of your restore.
