Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide


Chapter 5. Restoring Files and Directories

Tivoli Storage Manager uses the methods described in this section to restore backup versions of specific files, a group of files with similar names, or entire directories.

If parent directories exist above the subdirectory branch and the parent directories do not exist at the target of the restore, then the parent directories are created but their permissions are not restored. This only applies to directories; attributes/permissions for files are always restored. For example, if you have a backup of the following directory structure:

    a
    a\b
    a\b\c
    a\b\d

and, if you want to restore subdirectory branch b, and a does not exist, then a is created with default permissions restored. Tivoli Storage Manager will restore permissions for subdirectories b, c, and d.
