Filter Data from Restore Operations

Using the Advanced Restore Options window, you can specify the files, directories, file name patterns, or NDS containers/objects that you want to filter from restore data.

Before You Begin

• Review the general and agent-specific restore requirements accessed from Restore Backup Data prior to performing any restore operation.

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To filter data from a restore operation:

1. Begin any restore procedure. See Browse and Restore or Basic Restore for more information.
2. When you reach the Restore Options (General) dialog box, click Advanced.
3. From the Paths/Filters tab in the Advanced Restore Options dialog box, type the files, directories, file name patterns, or NDS objects that you want to filter in the Filter Paths pane.  Use the Add button to specify your filter entries.  Each entry must be specified as a complete path and must be a child of the Source Paths pane.  Wildcard entries must be expressed as complete paths (e.g. C:\Test\*.dll, or /usr/lib/*.so).
4. Continue your restore.
