You can restore individual files and folders to different locations using a
map file containing a list of files to be restored, with their corresponding
restore paths. If you are restoring hard-linked file backed up with
HLINK registry key set to
Y, make sure that all the associated hard links
are also included in the map file. This will allow you to preserve the hard
links.
If the path or the filename contains Unicode characters, the Map File must be
converted to a format that can be used by the data protection operation. The Unicode
Conversion utility must be used to convert the Map File to a format that can be
provided as input.
Using a text editor, create a file that contains a list of files/folders
with Unicode characters. Make sure to save the file as a Unicode text file.
From the Command Line, navigate to the <software install folder>/base
folder and type the following:

for additional restores.
When performing command line restores, note that backups taken from the
CommCell Console can be restored using Command Line and vice versa. However,
backups taken from a previous version of the CommCell Console can be restored
only from the Command Line.
In order to run the restores from command line, you need an input xml file
which contains the parameters for configuring the restore options. This input
xml file can be obtained using one of the following ways:
Download the
input xml file template and save it on the computer from where the
restore will be performed.
Generate the input xml file from the CommCell Console and save it on the
computer from where the restore will be performed.
sourceItem is the CommCell D and
the backup job ID separated by a colon (':'). By default, the
CommCell ID is 2.
striplevel is the
number of folder levels to exclude from the
source path. This parameter is optional.
For example, if you have a directory structure (source
path) as
/a/b/c and you select strip level 2, the
data will be restored from folder c,
while folders a and
b are excluded.
Ensure that the strip level is always less than the source path
level.
In addition to the parameters provided in the template xml file, if you want
to include additional options for the restore, you can do so by selecting the
required options from the CommCell Console and generate the command line xml
script for the restore operation.

and a .bat file is created.
If a file with the same name already exists in the specified location,
the .xml file will be created with a timestamp. However, the .bat file will
overwrite the existing file.
Enter the username and password for the user account which you want to
use to perform the restore.
By default, the user account which you have used to login to CommCell
console is used for performing the restore. However, if the user account does
not have access to application and database, click Use a
different account.
Once you initiate the restore operation, a restore job is generated in the Job
Controller. Jobs can be managed in a number of ways. See
Job
Management for a comprehensive information on managing jobs.
The following sections provide
information on the different job management options available:
Jobs that fail to complete successfully are automatically restarted based on
the job restartability configuration set in the Control Panel. Keep in mind that changes
made to this configuration will affect all
jobs in the entire CommCell.
To Configure the job restartability for a specific job, you can modify the
retry settings for the job. This will override the setting in the Control Panel. It is also possible to override the default CommServe configuration for individual
