Restore Options
Chapter 6296
Restore Sparse Files This option restores sparse files in their original
compressed form. This is important because sparse
files can consume additional disk space unless they are
restored in their original form. By default, this option
is disabled.
This option applies to UNIX sparse files only. Windows
sparse files are always restored as sparse.
Lock Files During Restore This option denies access to files during
the restore. By default, this option is disabled.
Restore Time Attributes This option preserves the time attribute
values of each restored file. When this option is
disabled, Data Protector sets the time attributes of the
restored objects to the current date and time. By
default, this option is enabled.
Restore Protection Attributes This option preserves the original
protection attributes of each restored file. If this option
is disabled, Data Protector applies the protection
attributes of the current restore session. By default,
this option is enabled.
On Windows systems, this option applies to file
attributes only. Security information is always
restored, even when this option is disabled.
Pre- and
Post-Exec
Commands
For general information on pre- and post-exec commands, refer to
“Pre- and Post-Exec Commands” on page 250. For examples of these
commands on UNIX, refer to “Examples of Pre-Exec and Post-Exec
Commands for UNIX” on page A-20. Note that pre- and post-exec
commands are executed before and after the restore of each object, and
not the entire restore session.
Pre-Exec This option allows you to enter a command to be
executed before the restore of each object is initiated.
This command must return success for Data Protector
to proceed with the restore. The pre-exec command is
executed on the client system where the Disk Agent is
running. On how to specify the command, refer to
online Help.
