Hi,
I need to restore some files from a back-up job. The back-up job was 350GB. I understand I must catalogue the media before I can restore from it. I do not have 350GB free disk space to catalogue the media - I only want to restore about 3 GB of data - is there a way to only catalogue what I want to restore?
Or can I catalogue the media to a network drive? When choosing my catalogue options I only see local hard drives. Can I catalogue to a USB drive? The server I am using does not have a USB port but I will get a USB card if I can catalogue to a USB hard drive. Any suggestions?
Thank you all

Catalog does not restore any data
All it does is rebuild the catalog entry for that piece of media
Once that has been done, you can restore as little or as much as you need from that media

Okay, but don't I have to catalogue the media before I can restore from it?
Thanks for your reply

So is it possible to catalogue media to a network drive or a USB hard drive?
Thanks again - appreciate the help!

The catalog will only be created in the \Catalogs folder
Why would you want a catalog anywhere else?
