Creating a File Restore Job

To run a successful file restore, you must first define a File Restore job. You also need access to a file backup to restore from.

  1. In the main desktop interface window, go to the Restore tab, and from the Restore Modes section in the task panel, choose File.

  1. Select the source (a previously created file backup) and the destination for your restore job. Then, click Save Restore Job.
Note.

In a non-reconstructive restore, files that you created after the backup date and files you deleted may remain.

Specifying a destination directory or qtree that does not exist
  1. Right-click the volume or directory in the destination tree to which you want to add the new directory.
  2. Select Create New Directory from the context menu and choose a name for your directory. Note that slashes are not supported in this dialog.
