Set Restore Options

By default, Arcserve Backup uses the Non-authoritative method to restore the DFS (Distributed File System) Replication Service writer.

To set the restore method to Authoritative

1. Right-click the DFS Replication Service writer in the Restore By Tree or Restore By Session view in the Restore Manager.

   The VSS Restore Options dialog appears.

   Note: The DFS Replication Service writer will not appear on Windows Server 2008 systems as this is part of system state. You need to backup the system state, if you want to backup DFS Replication.

2. Select the option Use Authoritative Restore in the VSS Restore Options dialog and click OK.
