Restore Workstation Client Backup

The following procedure describes the steps involved in restoring data from a workstation client backup.

To restore the workstation client backup data:

Begin a Browse and Restore procedure, for the replication set you wish restore data.
From the Browse Options dialog box, select one of the following options to browse the backup data:
- Browse Latest Data
- Specify Browse Time - Browse Data Before
- Select from Available Browse Times to select from the list of browse times available for this client at the destination.
If you wish to browse data objects that are deleted on the source, but available on the destination, then mark the Show Deleted Items option.
Clearing the Show Deleted Items option would return the requested data based on the latest image available.
From the Browse window, Select Objects From the Browse Window for Restore.
From the Restore Options and Advanced Restore Options dialog boxes, select the restore options that you want to use. Do not click OK until you have used all of the desired tabs. If you accept all the default settings, you will be restoring the selected data to its original location. See Restore Destinations for the destination options available.
- If you are restoring the data to a UNC path, then you must provide the user credentials to access the UNC path in the General tab of the Replication Set properties.
- In order to restore Junction Points, select Restore Junction Points in the Advanced Restore Options dialog box. Note that when restoring Junction Points you can only perform a In-place restore and the Unconditional Overwrite option must be selected.
After completing your selections, you can either start the restore immediately or schedule the restore job.
- If you wish to schedule the job, click the Job Initiation tab from the Restore Options dialog box, click Schedule, schedule the job, and then click OK.
- If you wish to run the job immediately, accept or click Run Immediately in the same tab and then click OK.
While the job is running, you can right-click the job in the Job Controller and select Detail to view information on the job. After the data has been restored, you will see a job completion message in the Job Controller and Event Viewer.
