For Volume Level Restores, the volume's file system is overwritten with the restored file system. Consequently, any data that was on the volume before the restore operation is lost.

Destination Volume

Specifies the volume to which the data will be restored. The destination volume must meet all of the criteria for volumes that are backed up by the Image Level and Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgents. For these criteria, see Image Level Subclient Content. The target volume must be at least as large as the volume from which the data was backed up. For Image Level on Unix, only CXBF configured volumes are available for restore.

Specify a destination volume, or click Browse to browse and select one; once you have specified or selected a destination volume, click Apply.

Apply

Click to apply the selected volume as the destination volume.

When you save an operation as a script, each option in the dialog will have a corresponding xml parameter in the script file. When executing the script, you can modify the value for any of these XML parameters as per need.
