NetBackup restores files according to the original file path name. If existing files have the same names as backed up files, you can choose whether or not to overwrite files (file permissions must also allow overwriting). If you need to restore to a different location than from where the data was originally backed up, see Redirecting restores.
To perform a restore using the target method
The Restore Backups menu appears.
