FSAUtility - Restore all Files and Replace Placeholders
We archived all files over 24 months old, probably close to 3 years ago.
We are wanting to bulk restore all of our archived file shares, and replace the placeholder.
The problem with using FSAUtility.exe -t -s is that for every single file, you'll see a "File Exist" in the logs.
Now, adding the -f switch will allow it to replace the placeholder with the file from the archive, but if the original file has been modified (Which I'm guessing many have given the length of time since the archive task has ran), the archived copy will replace it.
I'm guessing I should run the Archiving task again, and then run the FSAUtility.exe -t -s ? Is there anything else I need to adjust with the policy as far as last modified dates, etc?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The File Exist, which you see is it the placeholder or normal file? If its a placeholder then EV task must have re-archived/processed with any changes which users have made. If its shows normal file icon then EV task has not re-processed file for archiving, in this case you may loose some data/changes for that file.
You can just run the archiving task to re-process those files and then try FSA Utility to restore.
