The Restore window lets you search the displayed backup images for the files, folders, volumes, or registry keys that you can mark for restore.
If you use a NetBackup Oracle or DB2 agent, the database appears.
Note: |
Backup images can expire after a certain amount of time (configured by your NetBackup administrator). If a backup image expires, you cannot see or restore its files. |
To open a Restore window
On the File menu, click Select Files and Folders to Restore. Then click the type of restore you want.
To open the same type of restore window as opened previously, click Select for Restore on the toolbar.
To open a different type of restore, click the arrow next to Select for Restore. Then select the type of restore you want.
You can move and resize this window. You also can cascade, tile, or minimize the window by using commands from the Window menu.
The items you can mark for restore appear in the following panes:
This pane shows all of the client backup images that reside on the server. Only the images that have not expired are shown. When a Restore window first opens, the following backup images are displayed and selected by default:
Several backup image icons may appear under a single a date. The most current backup image is on top of the list. As you move the cursor over the icons, pop-ups show the schedule type and the date and time of the backup. By default, the backup images are shown in a timeline format with all images since (and including) the most recent full backup selected. In a timeline view, selected images are enclosed in a box. In a details view, selected items are highlighted. See Backup image icons. If there is no full backup, only the most recent image is selected. |
|
This pane shows all folders of the volume or drive that appear in the selected backup image. When a Restore window first opens, this pane shows all folders in the backup images that are selected in the NetBackup History pane. To adjust the widths of the All Folders pane and the Contents pane, drag the bar that separates the panes. |
|
This pane shows the files from the most recent backup (View > Show Most Recent Backup). If the client belongs to multiple policies, all backup images since the earlier of the most recent full backups from those policies are selected. When a Restore window first opens, this pane shows the computer drives in the backup images that are selected in the NetBackup History pane. If multiple backup images are selected, multiple copies of a computer drive may appear in this pane. |
You can change the panes in the following ways:
