Current revision

backup3G’s Recovery module lists all the current backups in the media database, including Windows backups. If you don’t know which media set contains the correct backup, you can search the media contents table for all backups of a particular Windows object.

These are the types of Windows objects you can restore from:

This guide covers recovering Windows specific objects. See the Recovering Data section of the backup3G User Manual for more details on file and directory recovery.

You can recover selected keys or all keys from a registry backup. When recovering the registry there should be no users logged in. Also the host will require a reboot to complete the recovery.

Data Recovery

Target Host and Directory

Some backup3G users have restrictions on which hosts and directories they can restore to (see Restricting Recovery Destinations by Role in the backup3G User Guide for more details). For example users with the Operator role may be restricted to restoring files to the D:/tmp directory on any host, and to any directory on host ‘playpen’.

If you have any such restrictions, backup3G will ask to choose a target host and directory from the list of permitted destinations. If you have no restrictions you can choose any host and directory in the ‘Recovery Details’ prompt form.


Steps

  1. From the Recovery module, select the media set containing the backup to be restored.
  2. Select Contents > Open to list the contents of the media set. Each file in the media set corresponds to an item in the backup job.
  3. Select the files to restore:
    To select a file                        - click on it.
    To select several files              - click and drag from the first file down to the last.
    To add a file to the selection   - Control-click on it.
    To extend the selection           - Shift-click on another file.
    To select all files                      - press Control-Shift-Button1
  4. Select Recover > Background .
  5. If you have any recovery restrictions, backup3G will list which directories and hosts you can restore to. Choose a destination.
    If you have no restrictions, this step is skipped.
    Fill in these fields in the ‘Recovery Details’ prompt form.
    Recover to host
    Select the name of the host to which the files should be restored. The default is the original host.
    Into directory
    Specify where the restored files should go. The target directory will be created if it doesn’t already exist.
    When you restore the backup files, any existing files of the same name in the target directory will be overwritten. Therefore, it is best to restore to a temporary directory first.
    Drive/Pool
    Press Choose to see the list of valid drives and drive pools. Choose a drive and press Accept.
    Auto unload
    Select ‘yes’ to unload the backup tape from the drive after the recovery has finished
