Managing the Server
When you have completed selecting a full restore, or selecting file to restore, you can
begin the restoration operation.
Starting the restore
Once you have selected the archive from which you wish to restore files, and selected
the files to restore, you can begin the restore. After selecting file for restore, or the
backup archive to use, you will return to the main restore screen.
To start the restore:
1
Click Start Restore at the bottom of the screen.
The processing indicator will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen,
indicating the system is extracting the files from the backup archive.
This process can take some time, even when only one or two files are being
restored. This is because the entire archive must be copied down to the local system
before the selected files are extracted. If the backup was a full backup, it could be
very large, and the restore time long.
Example of a Processing indicator
When the file restore is completed, the specified files have been returned to their original
location on the Magnia SG20. Their original account ownership and modification date are
preserved.
Extracting Files Under Windows
It is possible to extract individual files from a Magnia SG20 backup archive using tools
available from third parties. This method allows you to access files from Magnia SG20
backup archives without using the Magnia SG20. This may be useful if you need to
extract data files quickly when the server is not available.
Magnia SG20 backup archives are Linux "tar" files that have been compressed using
"gzip." A popular product that can handle both of these formats is WinZip
