Hi community,

I have exactly the same problem, I want to be able to change the restore path (in process file restore). We have NSS 9.0. I figured out that one could do this by maybe modifying DBRESTFILE in Request Type Maintenance.
Indeed, we can put the input field (Restore path ) in write mode, in roles TAB (by unchecking Read Only).
But despite this, when restoring, it does not apply the value of the path entered :(
Is there a possible solution in the NSS interface, or do we have to go through
NSS_AlternativeFileRestore_Customization_xxx.zip? Iis it compatible with NSS version 9.0?
Thank you very much for your help,

Stephane.
