ca_restore Destination Options

The ca_restore command includes the following global destination options:

ca_restore

[-nobase|-base|-entirepath]
[-onconflict <overwrite|rename|skip|overwriteold>]
[-createversion|-replaceversion|-restoreversion]

-nobase

Specifies not to create the base directory on the destination path, but instead create all subdirectories below the source base directory during restore. This is the default option.

-base

Creates the destination path from the base directory during restore.

-entirepath

Creates the entire source path on the destination. No files from any parent directories are restored. Only the directory path to the base directory is created on the destination.

-onconflict <overwrite|rename|skip|overwriteold|confirm>

Specifies the method that Arcserve Backup will use when there are files on the destination disk that have the same name as files being copied from the source.

overwrite

Specifies to overwrite and restore all source files to the destination regardless of conflicting file names. The files from the source will overwrite the existing files on the destination.

This is the default option.

rename

Specifies to rename and copy the source file to the destination with the same file name but a different extension. The format of the renamed extension will vary depending upon the file system that is present on the target partition.

skip

Specifies to skip and not restore a source file if a file with the same name already exists on the destination.

overwriteold

Specifies to overwrite with newer files and only restore source files whose modification date is later than the modification date of the file with the same name on the destination. Source files whose modification date is earlier are not copied to the destination.

-createversion

Specifies to create a new file version. Arcserve Backup will restore all files as new versions of the original. The files in the target directory will not be affected.

-replaceversion

Specifies to replace (overwrite) a file version if a file in the target directory has the same name and version number as a file in the restore data.

-restoreversion

Specifies to restore (not overwrite) a file version if a file in the target directory has the same name and version number as a file in the restore data, Arcserve Backup will not restore the file. All other files will be restored with their original names and version numbers.
