Recover Arcserve UDP Data at File Level Granularity

Arcserve Backup lets you recover Arcserve UDP backup data at file level granularity from Arcserve Backup media. Use these steps when you want to recover individual files, folders, directories, and so on from Arcserve Backup media to Arcserve UDP nodes.

The steps listed below describe how to perform the following recoveries:

• Recover Arcserve UDP data that was backed up via Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Servers at file level granularity.

Note: The following steps describe how to submit restore jobs using the Restore by Session method. The process of restoring Arcserve UDP data nodes using the Restore by Tree method is identical to that of all other types of data. For more information about the Restore by Tree method, see "Restoring Data."

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Arcserve Backup Manager Console.

   From the Quick Start menu, click Restore.

   The Restore Manager window opens.

2. From the drop-down list, click Restore by Session.

   The backup sessions appear in the Session tree.

3. From the Session tree, expand Sessions and locate the Arcserve UDP nodes that you want to recover.

   Expand the nodes that you want to recover and locate the session from which you want to recover data at file level granularity.

   Next, click the check boxes next to the files, folders, or directories that you want to recover, as illustrated by the following screen:

   

4. Click the Destination tab.

   The Destination options appear.

5. Verify that the Restore files to their original locations option is specified and then click the Schedule tab.

   The Schedule options appear.

Note: For Alternation location, you cannot use Microsoft Windows Networks as a destination. If you need to restore, install Agent for Windows on those machine and add them under Client Agent for Windows tree for further restore.

6. Specify the Schedule options that you require for the job.
7. Click Options on the toolbar to specify the global options that you require for the job.

   Note: For more information, see Global Restore Options.

8. Click Submit on the toolbar to submit the job.

   The Restore Media dialog opens to display a list of the media that is required to perform the operation.

9. If the required media resides on multiple Arcserve Backup servers, click the drop-down list and specify the backup server that you want to execute the job and then click OK.

   The Session User Name and Password dialog opens.

10. On the Session User Name and Password dialog, edit or confirm the user name and password that is required to access the sessions and click OK.

    If the Arcserve UDP session is protected by a session password then the Arcserve UDP session password is required. (The Arcserve UDP session password is the password that was given in the Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server plan for the respective Arcserve UDP sessions backed up to tape).

    The Submit Job dialog opens.

11. Complete the required fields on the Submit Job dialog and click OK.

    The job is submitted.
