Likewise, the Catalog view will continue to display files in their original locations.
Rename the file on the Selection page of the restore job.
Suppose you want to restore a file with a different name. To do so, you rename the file after you select it.
When you rename the file, Data Protector Express restores the file with the new name. This can be useful
for not overwriting versions of the file that currently exist on disk.
To rename a file, right-click the file name and select Rename from the shortcut menu.
Note that when you rename a version, you are only renaming that file for the purposes of restoring it with
this particular restore job. Only the current restore job will assign that file the new name. When you create
a new restore job, you will see the file displayed with its original name. Similarly, the Catalog view
always displays files with the names they had when they were backed up.
Rename the file on the Selection page of the restore job. Sometimes it may be necessary to reserve a
specific device in a library so that future restore jobs can access that device should the need arise.
1. Create a user in Data Protector Express and log on to Data Protector Express as this user when
performing day-to-day backups. Make sure that this user has explicit rights to the library and devices
in the library that will be used during these backups. The default permission settings for each added
device should be sufficient. Do not give this user access rights to the device that will be reserved.
2. To perform a restore job while backup jobs are running, log on to Data Protector Express as Admin.
Create a restore job and select the reserved device on the Device page of the restore job.

format.
Different networks transmit data to Data Protector Express in different formats. In particular, Windows,
NetWare, and Linux all use different data stream formats. If you intend to share data from one network
platform with another, the data should be stored on media in a common data format, not in the native data
streams format.
To back up data in a generic format, first create a new backup job and select the data you want to transfer
between operating systems. Then open the Advanced Options dialog box and clear the Native data
streams format check box. When Data Protector Express backs up this data, it will convert it to a generic

Protector Express backs up all security information that network software includes in the data stream. If
the option is unchecked, Data Protector Express uses a generic format that removes security information.
Security is an issue to consider when checking this option. When this option is checked, Data
