Creating a restore job while reviewing media or devices

You can create a restore job while reviewing media or devices in Backup Exec. You must catalog the media before you can select the files that you want to restore.

The catalog for media that was backed up at other Backup Exec installations does not exist on the media server. You must catalog media that was backed up at other Backup Exec installations on the local media server before you can view data in the Restore Job Properties dialog box.
