How Can I Restore All The Files From A Single Version; How Can I Determine Which Files Are On Particular Media; When Restoring, I Get Many Alerts. What Is Wrong; Does Data Protector Express Back Up Files As Compressed - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

If you have not backed up the target directory, that is, the directory to move the files to, it will not be
displayed. In this case, right-click the files or directories to move, and then select Move from the shortcut
menu. Select the target directory to complete the move command.
Every version of a file or directory backed up during a single job has the same version date. You can use
this information to select all the files from a single backup job.
On the Selection page of the restore job, highlight the file, directory or volume to restore. Press the Select
Version button on the tool bar to open the Versions of... window. Select the date of the version you want
restored. All children (objects) having the same version will also be selected.
For additional information, see Selecting versions from a specific job on page 168.
On the Favorites desk bar, open the Wizards view. Open the Media wizards and select Media Content.
Follow the instructions on the wizard to select some media and determine its contents.
If you select many devices or set the Devices to be used field on the Device/Media page of the job to
Network (the default setting), Data Protector Express will attempt to complete the restore job using all
the devices listed or found. If a device does not contain media or the device contains the wrong media, an
alert is sent. This alert informs you to put the desired media into the appropriate device.
For example, suppose you are restoring from a single media but the Devices to be used field on the
Device/Media page lists four devices. If the target media is in the third device listed, Data Protector
Express will issue two alerts, one for each of the first two devices. These alerts can be ignored.
Also note that you do not have to insert the requested media into the device. To fulfill the request, you
can place any media required by the job into the device. Data Protector Express will then use the media
that you actually did put into the device.
If you want the job to use a specific device, first delete the Network object in the Devices to be used
field. Then click Add and add the specific device you want the restore job to use.
Data Protector Express will copy files to tape in compressed format without decompressing them first.
This significantly enhances the speed of the backup.

Troubleshooting Verify Jobs

This is usually caused by a physical read problem from the backup device. The data Data Protector
Express expected from the media was not found. This can be caused by:
Bad media: Try replacing the media.
•
Read errors on the drive: Try cleaning the drive heads.
•
