Troubleshooting Restore Jobs

Windows, NetWare and Linux systems store information in different formats. For example, if you backed
up NetWare information in a compressed format, Windows cannot read the NetWare compressed data.
To restore to a different operating system, even to a different version of the same operating system, you
must create the backup in a generic format.
If you did not create your backup in a generic format, you may not be able to restore it to a
different operating system. You should either restore it on a similar operating system or create a new
backup.
1. Access the backup job's Options page.
2. Click the Advanced options button. The Advanced Options window for the job appears.
3. Deselect the Native data streams format option. When you run the backup job, Data Protector
Express decompresses the data and strips the information specific to the operating system before
backing it up.
You may lose security information under certain operating systems.

Select the file, directory or volume you wish to restore with a different name. Then open the properties
page for that object. On the General page, type in the new name and press OK.
For additional information, see Restoring Files with New Names and Locations on page 78.
To restore data to another location, open the Selection page of the restore job. Click the folder or file you
want restored to a different location, then use the Move command to move that folder or file to the new
target location. To use the keyboard, use
