Recalling files from the target
When a file has been archived, the link file is still accessible on the source. The link file has an offline
file attribute associated with it. When an end-user attempts to access the link file, the contents of the
file are recalled from the target back to the source. The file opens to the end-user as if it had always
been fully on the source.
There may be times when you wan to recall some or all of the files from the target back to the source.
For example, you should recall all of the files before changing to a new target server to protect your
source or if you want to rearchive your files using different archive settings.

Individual recall—To recall files or folders individually, use the following steps.
1. In the left pane of the Management Console, select the replication set that contains the files
or folders that you want to recall.
2. Highlight the root of the volume within that replication set that contains the files or folders
that you want to recall.
3. In the right pane of the Management Console, drill down through the volume to locate the
files or folders that you want to recall.
4. Right-click on the files or folders and select Recall. The right-click menu will not be available
if the files or folders are not part of your replication set.

All recall—To recall all of the files from the target, right-click the connection on the right pane of
the Management Console and select Archiving, Recall All. If desired, specify if you want to
calculate the size of the replication set prior to starting the recall. If enabled, this will display the
the recall percentage complete in the Mirror Status column of the Management Console. Click
Recall All Files to begin the recall.
NOTE: If a link file is moved to a different volume on the source, the file will be recalled and
moved. If a link file is moved within the same volume on the source, the file is not
recalled, only moved.
