Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) › Perform a Restore › Restore Methods

Restore Methods

The goal of running a successful restore job is to identify quickly the data you need and to retrieve it from the appropriate backup location. The Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides various methods to identify and locate the backed up data and allow you to restore it. Regardless of the restore method you select, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) uses visual indicators (restore markers) of the objects that are or are not selected for restore. For more information, see Restore Markers.
