CAUTION: If you are experimenting to see how restores
work, consider the consequences of restoring your (older)
backed up files over (current) working files. It may be wise
to redirect the restored files, or do your trial runs in an
isolated, non-production environment.
For this example we will restore a file “with redirection” to prevent over-writing
existing data. Navigate to Restore
1. Select the Files to Restore. Begin in the Select File tab. First, specify
the range of backup jobs from which your target files should be
restored.
Choose backup job names for “From” and “To” in the drop-
downs. Then specify the files that you want to restore by using the file
navigator to browse your Backup Sets.
2. Choose Where to Restore the Files. Select the Redirection tab. Each
of the files to be restored will appear in the “Source” dropdown. Select
one file.
The same path and filename will appear in the “Destination”
dropdown.
Be sure to edit the value in the “Destination” field. You can either edit
the destination manually or you can “browse” button to the right of the
field. You can specify a different file name, a different directory path, or
a different client machine
…or all three.
EXAMPLES:
Source:
marketing.mycompany.com!file:/etc/hosts
Destination: marketing. mycompany.com!file:/etc/hosts-TEST
Source:
marketing. mycompany.com!file:/etc/hosts
Destination: marketing. mycompany.com!file:/tmp/hosts-TEST
Source:
marketing. mycompany.com!file:/etc/hosts
Destination: fileserver1. mycompany.com!file:/tmp/hosts-TEST
3. Start the restore.
