Table 23. RRcmd parameters (continued)

Command

Result

level=x

Where x is a number from 0 (for the base) to maximum number of
incremental backups (only used with the restore option. For
backup commands, the level=x command is only required if
performing an administrator backup (equal to or greater than 100,
for example).

Notes:

1.

To restore from the latest backup, do not provide this
parameter.

2.

All backup and restore features are routed through the service
so that the appropriate sequencing can be maintained,
callbacks are performed, for example. The backup command is
replaced with the command-line options.)

Osfilter

This command is used only with the restore command. It uses the
registry settings for OsAppsList to filter files being restored. This
command line entry can be used to do an OsApps restore.

uuid & index

The uuid command is the identifier of system with backups, and
there is a one-to-one correspondence between index and uuid. The
value is retrieved by using the listsystem parameter.

listsystem

List the value of uuid and index of stored backups in the backup
location. For example:

rrcmd listsystem location=U

listbackup

The listbackup command must be used with listsystem. It
displays more detailed backup information. For example:

rrcmd listsystem location=U listbackup

Note:

You must have the file.txt file closed.

Note:

You can check the size change of the single file restore operation in the

user interface.

How to restore a backup from specific system

multiple computers on one storage device. The various backups are differentiated
by the unique uuid command. If you want to restore a specific backup, do the
following:
