Backup Exec defaults to restoring data to the resource from which the data originated. By using the Restore Job Properties - Redirection dialog boxes, you can restore data to any protected server or share.
To redirect database files that are protected by licensed Backup Exec agents such as SQL or Exchange, on the Task pane, under Destination, select the redirection option for the agent.
