how to redirect the restored file to specific path?

Please give some advise on how to redirect the restored file to specific path?

  • Uncheck the option to "Preserve Tree structure" so that the file that you are selected will be directly restored to the folder you have specified "G:\Russel"

     

    Thanks,

  • In the job properties, click on the file re-direction section.

  • Thanks phk for your response.

    I set already the restore path and also the restore drive but it did not redirect to folder. Also, should I select the preserve tree option under general setting? Thanks

    I attached screenshot.. 

     

     

  • You should not key in the drive.  Use the browse button to select the drive..  You would then end up with something like

    Server1\\:c:

    If you are restoring a folder, then the Preserve Tree option will give you the underlying directory structure.  Otherwise, all the files will be restored in the target folder without any directory structure.

  • Even if you dont select the preserve tree option, restore should work .Have you entereed the path manaully or selected the browse button and browse the path ? I would prefer using the browse button .

  • I used the browse button. I just run a test restore again today and it works already.

     

     but I notice that it created subfolders. How can I skipped this redundant file names and just redirect the restore file on specific folder that I created?
