Restoring files and folders to a different folder
You can also restore files and folders to different folders. When Data Protector Express restores the
object, it creates it in the new location. This is useful in order to prevent overwriting files and folders that
currently exist on disk.
To restore to a different folder (also known as a move restore), right-click the file name on the Selection
page of the restore job and select Move command from the command bar. In the Select destination
for move operation window, select a target location. Data Protector Express will move the file to the
destination you select. If the destination folder doesn’t exist, you can create it directly from the dialog.
You can also restore folders and volumes in new locations. The contents of these containers move with
them and are restored, along with the folder or volume, in the new location.
NOTE:
When you move a version on the Selection page of a restore job, the changes you make are only recorded
for that restore job. Only the current restore job will assign the file or folder the new location. When you
create a new restore job, you will see the files and folders in their original locations. Likewise, the Catalog
view will continue to display files in their original locations.
Selecting Devices
Selecting this link displays the Device view and allows you to select the device(s) to use in the job. See
for more information about using the Device view.
Configuration
Restore Job Settings
To schedule a restore job to happen at a particular time, change the Schedule Type
to Run on specific day and then set the start time and date. The service will ensure that the restore
will happen at that time.
Verify Job Settings
Like the restore job, you can schedule a verify to happen on a particular time as
well. Additionally, you can specify whether the job is a Full or a Quick verify. A full verify will compare
the contents of the backup media with the source files on disk. A quick verify will only validate that the
media can be read from end to end.
