Using CA ARCserve D2D › Restore Methods

Restore Methods

The goal of running a successful restore job is to quickly identify the data you need and to retrieve it from the appropriate backup location. CA ARCserve D2D provides two methods to identify and locate the backed up data and allow you to restore it.

Restore data

1. From the CA ARCserve D2D home page (or CA ARCserve D2D Monitor), select Restore.

   The restore methods selection dialog opens.

   

2. Select the type of restore you want to perform.

   The available options are Browse Recovery Points and Find Files/Folders to Restore.

   Note: You must use the Browse Recovery Points if you want to restore any applications.

   • Browse Recovery Points

     Allows you to browse the available recovery points (successful backups) from a calendar view. The calendar dates that contain valid recovery points will be highlighted in green. When you select a recovery date, all the associated recovery points for that date will be displayed. You can then browse and select the backup content (including applications) to be restored. For more information, see Restore by Recovery Points.

   • Find Files/Folders to Restore

     Allows you to search for a file name pattern in a specific location and/or the file version to be restored. For more information, see Restore by Find File/Folder.
