Restore Options
Data Protector offers a set of comprehensive restore options that allow
fine-tuning of a restore. All these options have default values which are
appropriate in most cases.
Restore options depend on the data being restored. For example, restore
options for a filesystem are different from those for a disk image restore.
List of Restore Options
The following list of restore options can be set for a particular object.
They apply to all the data restored from the backed up object.
General Restore
Options
Target Client By default, you restore to the same client system from
which the data was backed up. You can select another
system in your cell from the drop-down list. The Disk
Agent is started on the selected client system and the
data is restored there. You need to have the Restore
to other clients user right to be able to restore to
another client system.
Omit Deleted Files This option removes files that were deleted
between a full and an incremental backup. It recreates
the state of your disk or directory as it was at the time
when the last incremental was run. It does not apply to
files that were created after the incremental backup.
By default, this option is disabled.
WARNING If, between the full and incremental backup, a user has created
files with the same name as those that have been deleted, the
newly created files are also deleted.
When using the Restore As functionality, a file on the new
location will be deleted if it was removed from the original
location between the full and incremental backup and its
modification time is older than the time of the last incremental
backup.
