How CASO restores data that resides on multiple devices

If the data selected for restore is located on a single device attached to a managed media server, then a single restore job is created at, and then delegated from, the central administration server. However, if the data being selected for restore is located on multiple devices in the CASO environment, then the single restore job is split into separate restore jobs, depending on the number of devices involved.

All split restore jobs have the same name as the original job, but are differentiated and linked with a subscript numeral that is appended to the job name.

For example, if you create a restore job and the data you select for restore resides in one device on a managed media server, CASO creates one restore job. However, if you create one restore job and the data you select resides on two or more devices that are attached to a managed media server, CASO creates two or more restore jobs.

The following graphic shows a single restore job that is split into multiple jobs.
