Performing Integrated Restore Jobs › Restore Using Arcserve Backup › Restore by Query

Restore by Query

The Restore by Query method restores files based on the search pattern used to locate the names of the files or directories. Use this method when you know the name of the file or directory you want to restore, but do not know the machine it was backed up from or the media it was backed up to. This view uses the Arcserve Backup database.

Note: The Restore by Query method only supports File Server scenarios.

To restore a backup job by query

1. From Arcserve Backup, access the Restore Manager, select the Source tab, and choose Restore by Query from the Source View drop-down menu.

   The top pane of the Restore Manager displays fields let you enter the search criteria for the scenarios that have been backed up and are candidates for being restored.

2. Specify the search criteria and click Query.

   The bottom pane of the Restore Manager displays all the returned items that match the query criteria.

3. Select the files or directories that you want to restore and click Submit to run the job.

   If the selected file or directory is an Arcserve Replication scenario, the Enter User Name and Password for Arcserve Replication Session dialog appears.

   

   If the selected file or directory is not an Arcserve Replication scenario, the Session User Name and Password dialog appears.

   

4. Continue with the same restore procedure as detailed for the Restore by Session method.
