To browse and restore
data
using wildcards:
You must select data from the Backup Data window even if you only want to restore
data via wildcard expression. If you do not select data or files, you
are denied access to the Advanced Restore Options dialog box, which you need in
order to enter the wildcard expression. You can always deselect the data as
described later in this procedure. Optionally you can also perform mixed mode restore by selecting the necessary data in the Backup Data window and then specifying the wild cards as described in the steps that follow. |
In the Paths/Filters tab for the Advanced Restore Options dialog box, the Source Paths pane shows the path of the data that you selected.
If both wildcard expressions and specific data paths are specified (i.e., a mixed mode restore), the system displays the message that any directories that are to be restored in the job will be restored empty. Click Yes to continue the operation or click No to change the necessary options.
The progress of the restore job can be monitored using the Job Controller.
