Review the Restore Prerequisites and Considerations
Verify that the following prerequisites exist before performing a restore:
- You have at least one recovery point available to restore.
- You have a valid and accessible recovery point destination to restore the recovery point content from.
- You have a valid and accessible target location to restore the recovery point content to.
- Review the Compatibility Matrix which provides the supported operating systems, databases, and browsers.
Review the following restore considerations:
-
- If the restore is to a remote destination and if all the drive letters (A - Z) are occupied, the restore to a remote path will not succeed. Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) needs to use one drive letter to mount the remote destination path.
- (Optional) Understand how the restore process works. For more information, see How File Level Restores Work.
- (Optional) Review the files skipped during restore. For more information, see Files Skipped During Restore.
- When you attempt to restore an optimized backup session to a non-empty volume (unoptimized restore), the restore job may take more time than the estimated time displayed in the job monitor. The amount of data that is processed and the elapsed time may increase based on the data that is optimized on the volume.
Example:
The backup volume size is 100 GB and after optimization the volume size is reduced to 50 GB.
When you perform an unoptimized restore of this volume the restore job monitor displays 100% after restoring 50 GB, but it will take more time to restore the entire 100 GB.
- The following Activity log message will be displayed when restoring the system files:
"System files were skipped. If necessary, you can use the Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) option to restore them."
