Performing a Restore

To run a restore, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on Restore from the GUI main window. The Restore window appears.
  2. Expand the folder tree. Click on the object that you want to restore. To search or filter files, click on the Edit menu> Find item. To perform a point-in-time restore that restores files to the state that existed at a specific date and time, click the Point-in-Time button.
  3. To modify specific restore options click the Options button. The options you select are effective during the current session only.
  4. Click on Restore. The Restore Destination window appears. Enter the appropriate information.
  5. Click on Restore. The Task List window displays the restore processing status. The Restore Report window displays processing statistics.
Note:
When the client starts up it is running as a root. This means that if you create a folder to restore your files to, that folder is owned by root. To access the files you must change the permissions of the folder; a task that the system administrator can perform. Please see your operating system documentation for more information on how to accomplish this.
