Restoring files from tape

Before initiating a restore, you must select some files to restore. There are two ways to select files for restoring:

  1. Highlight a file or folder in one of the archives under the tape drive tree node. Only the selected file or subfolder will be restored.

  2. Checkmark selected files in one of the archives under the tape drive tree node. Only the checked files and/or subfolders will be restored.

There are three ways to initiate a restore:

  1. Select Restore... from the File menu.

  2. Click on the restore icon in the toolbar.

  3. right mouse button click on a file or folder in one of the archives, and select Restore....

Once the restore has been initiated, the Restore Options dialog will appear. This dialog gives you a chance to review the selected files, and change the working folder for the restore.

After accepting the restore options, the Restore dialog will appear. This dialog shows the progress of the restore including throughput and time remaining.
