Chapter 5 Backup
Restoring Backup Data
The procedure for restoring backup data varies depending on the backup mode. Refer to the following subsection
corresponding to the backup mode you have used for backup. When restoring backup data, make sure you have
enough available space on the TeraStation to accommodate the backup data, otherwise the restore process will fail.
Full and Management Backups
Copy and paste the backed up files from the backup destination folder to a folder which you want to restore.
Snapshot and Overwrite Backups (Incremental and Differential)
Files and folders, including snapshots, have already been stored on the desired destination. You can access them by
switching the operation to the backup destination TeraStation. Alternatively, you can restore any files or folders by
creating a backup job and configuring the backup destination as a backup source and selecting the same backup
mode for the "Operation Mode" drop-down list. Do not use the same folder as the backup destination to restore
backup data from multiple backup sources, as this may cause the restored data to get overwritten.
iSCSI Backups
The backup data can easily be restored by creating a new backup job. Follow the procedure below.
Make sure that there is an iSCSI file I/O volume on the TeraStation which you want to use for restoring the backup
data. If you do not have one already, refer to the
be aware that the existing iSCSI file I/O volume will be overwritten by the restored backup data.
