Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide


Using the Web Client to Restore Files

Your administrator determines how many backup versions Tivoli Storage Manager maintains for each file on your workstation. Frequently, the administrator maintains more than one version of each file. Having multiple versions of a file permits you to restore older versions in the event the most recent backup is damaged. Tivoli Storage Manager considers the most recent backup version to be the active version. Any other backup version is considered to be an inactive version. To restore a backup version that is inactive, you must display both active and inactive versions by clicking on Display Active/Inactive Files on the View menu. If you try to restore both an active and inactive version of a file at the same time, only the active version will be restored.

To restore your backup versions:

  1. Click on Restore on the main window. The Restore by Tree window displays.
  2. Expand the directory tree by clicking on the + sign. Click the selection boxes next to the object or objects you want to back up.
  3. To modify specific restore options, click the Options button. Any options you change are effective during the current session only.
  4. Click Restore. The Restore Destination window displays. Enter the appropriate information in the Restore Destination window.
  5. Click Restore. The Restore Task List window displays the processing status.
