• The catalog protection has expired. Refer to “Most Frequently Used

Backup Options” on page 227 for more information about data and
catalog protection.

• The media are not from the same Data Protector cell and, as such, are

not recognized in the IDB of the cell. In this case, you need to import
it first.

Prerequisite

A large amount of memory on the Cell Manager is required. The amount
of memory needed can be estimated by using the following formula:

number_of_files

multiplied by 200 bytes.

Limitations

• You cannot list database application objects from the media.

• Files that span several media cannot be restored directly fro media.

All media needed to restore the file have to be imported, and then the
file can be restored using the

List From Database

option.

How to Restore
Directly from
Media

To restore data directly from media, click

List From Media

in the

Actions

menu of your restore context, and follow the

Restore from

media

wizard. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword

“restoring directly from media”.

Data Protector provides restore options that allow you to specify the
behavior when files being restored are in use by setting the Lock Files
During Restore
and the Move Busy Files options. Refer to “Restore
Options” on page 294.

Restoring by Query

Data Protector provides the
