Recreating a backup-to-disk folder and its contents

If you have deleted a backup-to-disk folder from Backup Exec, but have not deleted it from the disk, you can recreate the backup-to-disk folder and the files in it. You must know the name and path of the original backup-to-disk folder in order to recreate it. If you deleted a backup-to-disk folder from the disk, you cannot recreate it.

  1. Add a new folder to Backup Exec using the same name and path as the deleted folder.

  2. When you are prompted, click Yes to recreate the folder at the specified path.

  3. On the navigation bar, click Devices.

  4. Expand the icon for the computer where the backup-to-disk folder is located.

  5. Select the new folder.

  6. Under Media Tasks in the task pane, select Inventory and create and run an inventory job.
