Restoring files and folders
You can restore files and folders using CPS Administration Console. Selected files in a restore job are copied from any backup destination to any computer in the Backup Group. You can restore data only, the share only, or both. Select data carefully to ensure the restore job copies the information you want.
|
Note:
|
If data has been backed up from a Business Server to a Protection Server, and the Business Server is later deleted from the Backup Group, the data cannot be restored, even to another Business Server.
|
When an alternate restore destination path is chosen, be careful not to select any path with data that needs to be saved. Continuous Protection Server overwrites the data in the selected folder.
