• Display a list of media needed for restore and the physical locations where
the media are stored.

with expired protection.
• Restore
• Restore by Query
Requests for restores by query will be sent to the administrator. If the files were
last backed up less than 3 weeks before the request was placed, then the
administrator can use the Restore by Query restore task to select the files and
directories to be restored using a specified criteria. The administrator then
selects the Overwrite option to replace files and directories on the disk with
the versions on the media.
• Complete Filesystem Restore
Requests for the restore of whole filesystems will be sent to the administrator.
If the files were last backed up less than 3 weeks before the request is placed,
then the administrator can select the objects for restore and use the Restore
Into option.
With the Restore Into option selected, the object is restored with the exact
directory structure to a selected directory. Use a Windows or UNIX utility to
compare the restored object with the backed up object.
• Restore from a Vault
To restore data from a vault, which is for instance 3 years old, send a request
to the administrator who then:
1. Identifies the media needed for restore.
2. Brings the media from a vault, enters the media in the HP StorageWorks
DLT 4228w Library, the or HP StorageWorks DLT 41 15w Library or other
device and then scans the media.
3. Selects the specific object to be restored using the List From Media option,
if the media are not in the Data Protector Catalog Database.
4. Performs the restore.
