From the CommCell Browser, right-click the agent, backup set, or subclient whose data you want to
browse, click All Tasks (if displayed), and then click the desired Browse
option.
From the Browse Options
dialog box, select the browse options that you want to use.
If you want to enable/disable the pop-up message to confirm when then stub recovery operation has completed and to show the location of the file, see Recovery Considerations for these Agents for more information.
Log on to the client computer from which the file was archived, or a computer that has a mapped network drive to the volume where the stub resides.
Locate the file stub in Windows Explorer, then double-click the stub to begin the recovery operation.
If the pop-up confirmation message feature has been enabled, a window will display the location of the file that will be recovered. Once the recovery operation has completed, the pop-up will close automatically. For remote recoveries using
File Archiver for Windows, another pop-up will appear on the remote workstation indicating that the recovery operation has completed. Click OK to close the window.
If you want to enable/disable the pop-up message to confirm when then stub recovery operation has completed and to show the location of the file, see Recovery Considerations for these Agents for more information.
Log on to the client computer from which the files were archived, or a computer that has a mapped network drive to the volume where the stubs reside.
Locate the file stubs in Windows Explorer, then use Ctrl + click to select the stubs to be recovered.
Press Enter (or select Open from the File pull-down menu or right-click menu) to begin the recovery operation.
If the pop-up confirmation message feature has been enabled, a window will display the location of the latest file that was submitted for recovery. Once the recovery operation has completed, the pop-up will close automatically. For remote recoveries using
File Archiver for Windows, the number of pop-ups on the remote workstation will be equal to the number of stub recoveries submitted and each will indicate that the recovery operation has completed. Click OK to close each window.
From the CommCell Browser, right click the File Archiver Notification
icon available on the system tray.
Select the setting option to set the popup message.
By default the Enable Recall Popup Message option is unchecked
and no messages are sent for recall notification.
In case of File System data, the agent will detect if the stub file was
migrated to either disk or tape, and then send appropriate message
through the Local Archiver MAG Popup Message or the Local Archiver
tape Popup Message fields.
In case of NAS File Server data, message is sent through the NAS
Popup Message field.
The Maximum Popup Message Display Time field can be set to any
value in seconds. The message will be displayed for the mentioned number of
seconds.
The <-FILENAME-> or %s tag can be used in these fields to
represent the file name. When a recall occurs the tags will get
replaced with the file name being recalled, before displaying the
message to the user. The file name is shortened when it exceeds 100
characters. First 48 characters and the last 48 characters of the
file name are used in this shortened version.
<-FILENAMEFULLPATH-> tag can be used if user wants to insure
that the message always contains the full name of the file.
The <excludefilename> tag can be used to exclude the file name
from the message. This tag can be placed anywhere within the
message, and it gets removed before being displayed to the user.
The <title> tag can be used to replace the text in the title bar
of the popup.
Restore Out-of-Place, Cross-Platform or Cross-Application
Before You Begin
Review the general and agent-specific restore requirements accessed from
Restore Backup Data prior to performing any
restore operation.
From the agent's Restore Options dialog box, select the restore
destination:
Destination Computer - By default, data is restored to the same
computer from which it was backed up. To change the destination computer,
select one from the list. The list includes established clients within the CommCell, with Operating Systems that support the
out-of-place, cross-platform, or cross-application restore operation from this client.
Restore to Same Paths - Specifies whether the restore operation must restore data to the Destination Computer
using the same path from which it was backed up. Clear this option if you want to restore
to a different path and activate the Destination
folder box.
Destination Folder - Use this space to enter (or browse to) the path on the destination computer to which the data
must be restored. If the specified path does not exist, it will be created during the restore process.
On Windows computers,
the UNC path of a shared
drive can be specified. (e.g., \\servername\sharename\directory).
Deselect Restore to Same Paths and then type the UNC path of the shared drive in the
DestinationFolder field.
After completing your selections, continue with the restore procedure.
Recover Out-of-Place or Cross-Platform
Before You Begin
Review the general and agent-specific recovery requirements accessed from
Recover Archived Data prior to performing any
recovery operation.
From the agent's Recover Options dialog box, select the recovery destination:
Destination Computer - By default, data is recovered to the same
computer from which it was archived. To change the destination computer,
select one from the list. The list includes established clients within the CommCell, with Operating Systems that support the
out-of-place or cross-platform recovery operation from this client.
Recover to Same Paths - Specifies whether the recovery operation must recover data to the Destination Computer
using the same path from which it was archived. Clear this option if you want to recover
to a different path and activate the Destination
folder box.
Destination Folder - Use this space to enter (or browse to) the path on the destination computer to which the data
must be recovered. If the specified path does not exist, it will be created during the recovery process.
On Windows computers,
the UNC path of a shared
drive can be specified. (e.g., \\servername\sharename\directory).
Deselect Recover to Same Paths and then type the UNC path of the shared drive in the
DestinationFolder field.
After completing your selections, continue with the recovery procedure.
Restore to a Network Drive/NFS-Mounted File System
Before You Begin:
On Windows computers, shared network drives exist as Windows share
directories (i.e., shares) on some other computer on the network. For data
security reasons, these shares possess access privileges that determine who
can access the share and the rights under which access is permitted. If your
Windows account does not have privileges to write data to the share, you must
be prepared to provide the login and password of a Windows account that does
have these privileges.
For Unix computers, ensure that the destination computer has root permissions for the NFS-mounted
file system. If the destination computer does not have these
permissions, restores will fail.
Ensure that the network drive / mounted file system to which you intend to restore the data is accessible as
a mapped network drive/ NFS-mounted file system from the destination computer.
Review the general and agent-specific restore requirements accessed from Restore Backup Data prior to performing any restore operation.
From the Restore Options dialog box, ensure that the Destination Computer is the source computer
from which the shared drive was backed up, not the computer that has the share. If the data did
not originate from the shared drive, de-select Restore to Same Paths
and then type the UNC path of the shared drive in
the Destination Folder field (e.g.,
\\servername\sharename\directory).
To restore to a Windows computer, click Advanced.
If you do not have Change permissions for the share to which you intend to restore the
data, then you must select Impersonate NT User in the Advanced Restore
Options dialog box and provide the login and password of a Windows
account that does have these permissions. (Otherwise, the data cannot be
restored to the selected share. Ordinarily, if you can copy or create a
file in the share, you should be able to restore data to that share without
having to select this option.)
If the user account is established as a domain user
account, you must enter a fully qualified user name (e.g.,
<domain_name>\<user_name>) and password.
Optionally select the additional restore options that you want to use from the
Advanced
Restore Options dialog box.
Click OK.
Optionally select the additional restore options that you want to use from the
Restore
Options dialog box.
Click OK.
After completing your selections, you can either start an immediate
restore or schedule the restore.
