Restore Destination Choices

Select from the following options.

Restore everything to its original location

Restores the folders and files to the location where they resided when the backup occurred.

Restore everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)

Restores the folders and files with their original hierarchy, but to a different location.

Use the Destination field to enter the restore location.

Click Browse to browse to the restore location.

If the original volume at the time of backup (such as E:\) does not exist on the destination client for this restore, the restore fails.

Restore individual folders and files to different locations (double-click to modify)

Restores the folders and files to individually designated locations. To designate a restore destination for each source folder, double click on its row.

Create and restore to a new virtual hard disk file

This option is not implemented.

Restore options

Most of these options do not apply to the restore of a Hyper-V virtual machine.

Overwrite existing files

If any of the files to restore already exist at the restore destination, the restore overwrites the existing files.

Do not restore the file

If any of the files to restore already exist at the restore destination, the restore does not overwrite those files. Restores only the files that do not already exist at the destination.

Override default job priority

Determines the restore job's priority for restore resources. A higher priority means that NetBackup assigns the first available drive to the first restore job with the highest priority. Enter a number (maximum 99999). The default for all restore jobs is 0, the lowest priority possible. Any restore job with a priority greater than zero has priority over the default setting.

Media Server

You can use this option to select a media server that has access to the storage unit that contains the backup image. An example of such an environment is a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) with multiple media servers.
