Restore Sparse Files This option restores sparse files in their original

compressed form. This is important because sparse
files can consume additional disk space unless they are
restored in their original form. By default, this option
is disabled.

This option applies to UNIX sparse files only. Windows
sparse files are always restored as sparse.

Lock Files During Restore This option denies access to files during

the restore. By default, this option is disabled.

Restore Time Attributes This option preserves the time attribute

values of each restored file. When this option is
disabled, Data Protector sets the time attributes of the
restored objects to the current date and time. By
default, this option is enabled.

Restore Protection Attributes This option preserves the original

protection attributes of each restored file. If this option
is disabled, Data Protector applies the protection
attributes of the current restore session. By default,
this option is enabled.

On Windows systems, this option applies to file
attributes only. Security information is always
restored, even when this option is disabled.

Pre- and
Post-Exec
Commands

For general information on

pre-

and

post-exec

commands, refer to

“Pre- and Post-Exec Commands” on page 250. For examples of these
commands on UNIX, refer to “Examples of Pre-Exec and Post-Exec
Commands for UNIX” on page A-20
. Note that

pre-

and

post-exec

commands are executed before and after the restore of each object, and
not the entire restore session.

Pre-Exec

This option allows you to enter a command to be
executed before the restore of each object is initiated.
This command must return success for Data Protector
to proceed with the restore. The

pre-exec

command is

executed on the client system where the Disk Agent is
running. On how to specify the command, refer to
online Help.
