For this first restore job, we want to restore the files to a different location. This will allow you to

compare the original files with the restored files.
To do this task, we need the move functionality. Click on the Move icon in the Tool bar.
We recommend that you create a new folder to hold the restored files. In the Select destination for

move operation dialog, select the C: drive, click on the New command, enter a name for your

newly restored folder and click OK.
Select the new folder as the destination for the move operation and click OK.
Your new folder is now visible under the C: drive. Expand the folder to see how the files will be

visible after the restore job is finished. You can refine the restore selection by clicking in the boxes to

select or deselect the required folders and files. Only the selected folders and files will be restored.
As you navigate the restore view you will see a list of file and folder versions at the bottom of the

view. That list represents each backup that the selected object was backed up in. When multiple

versions of a file have been backed up, they will appear in this list and can be selected. If you don’t

select an item in the version list, the most recently backed up version will be restored.

Select the device containing your backup. Click on the Devices link in the Task bar as in the

configuration of the backup job.

You may ignore the Configuration and Advanced links for this example.

Click OK to complete the job configuration. Click Yes at the prompt to see the new job (command)

in your Home folder.

Select the new job object and click the Run button on the Command bar to start the job. If you have

installed the Quick Access Control, hold the cursor over the Data Protector Express icon in the

Windows System tray, normally in the bottom right corner of your screen. You can see that the

job is running.

NOTE:

During execution of the job you may notice a flashing red button in the lower right portion of the screen.

This indicates an that requires your intervention. Click the button to open the alert details and resolve the

issue.

The status of the job is visible in the lower left hand pane, the Info bar, of the Administrator.

more detailed information click on Status in the Command bar. The job’s property page will open

and show the status of the running job.

It is a good practice to check the logs after a job runs to ensure that there were no problems. Click

Status and Logs in the Navigation bar. Locate your job in the list, click on the + sign to expand the

job and select the most recent run. The property pane will show the first page of the job log. To see

the entire log, click the View Log button in the Command bar.

12.

Select the log entry for the restore job and double-click to open it. Scroll through the log to check that

everything is OK. If the Next button is bold, there are additional pages to check. Click Close when

you have finished reading the log.

You have now created and run your first restore job.
