Restoring data to another location/server

[Ryan_Britton_2]

How do I tell backup exec to restore the data to another server.  I am restoreing my data to another server as the current one has died.  How do I do this?

See page 517 of the Admin Guide

To redirect a restore job

1. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.

2. Click New Restore Job.

3. Select the data to be restored.

4. On the Properties pane, under Destination, click File Redirection.

5. Select the appropriate options as follows:

Redirect file sets Click this option to specify target paths or resources other than

where the data was originally backed up.

Restore to drive Select the destination for the restored data. Click the Browse

button (...) to view local and network drives.

Server logon account The current logon account being used by the server appears. If

you need to use another logon account, click Change, and then

select or create another account (see “Creating a new Backup

Exec System Logon Account” on page 154). Click Clear to clear

this field.

Restore to path Specify the target path on the device listed in the Restore to

Drive field. If you want to retain the original directory structure,

make sure that the Preserve Tree option is selected in the

Restore Job Properties - Settings

- General dialog box. If the

Preserve tree

option is not selected, all of the data will be

restored to the path designated in this field.

Path logon account Enter the logon account required for the target path. If you need

to use another logon account, click Change, and then select or

create another account. Click Clear to clear this field.
