Restoring multiple files

[Martin_Stack]

Not sure if there is an easy way of doing this: We have a need sometimes of restoring a lot of files that are arranged in various parts of our directory structure. The file name relates to the name of the directory that it is in, for example filename 3299169.jds would be located in directory 1\6\7\3299169.jds, 3299169 converts to 325761 hex and the last 3 numbers correspond to the first 3 directories (1 6 7). If I am asked to restore 200 files I would have to go through each selection 200 times! Would anyone know of a way of submitting a list of files that would automatically create a restore list?

If my presumption is incorrect regarding your query then please revert.

Hope this helps you.

Hello,

Can you explain the following part in your mail: The file name relates to the name of the directory that it is in, for example filename 3299169.jds would be located in directory 1\6\7\3299169.jds, 3299169 converts to 325761 hex and the last 3 numbers correspond to the first 3 directories (1 6 7). ?
It seems that you wish to create something like a restore job selection list. If thats what you are talking about, you can choose the files you need to restore manually before.Or you can create the selection list manually and choose the needed files. You can run this job and then use the same list from the job setup tab.

Hope this helps. In case the above information is not what you are looking for, do write back with details.
