FSAUtility syntax

Type one of the following forms of the command:

where the parameters are as follows:

-D mm-dd-yyyy

Specifies the date after which items must be archived before you can restore them or recreate the placeholders for them.

-d UNC_path

Specifies the path to the destination folder, when you move placeholders, or the destination folder, volume, or file server, when you restore archived files.

-e ext_list

Specifies the file types to restore as a comma-separated list of file name extensions. For example:

*.xls,*.doc,*.txt

By default, the utility restores all file types.

-f

Forces FSAUtility to recreate the placeholders or restore the archived files when placeholders or files of the same name already exist. The utility first deletes the existing placeholders or files and then creates the new ones.

-l log_level

Specifies whether to log both successful operations and failed operations (0) or failed operations only (1). By default, the utility logs failed operations only.

FSAutility generates the log file, which is called EV_FILESYSTEM_UTILITY_LOG_DateTime.xml, in the folder installpath\Reports\FSAUtility.

-r

Runs the utility in report mode. FSAUtility generates a report that outlines the activities that it would perform if you were to run it in normal mode, but without performing those activities.

FSAutility generates reports with the name EV_FILESYSTEM_UTILITY_REPORT_DateTime.xml in the folder installpath\Reports\FSAUtility.

-s UNC_path

Specifies the path to the required folder, volume, or file server.
