FSA - best practise to bulk recall archived files

Hi

Environment is EV 9.0.2

Have a requirement to bulk recall/restore large amount of FSA data quickly.

I believe there are 3 ways:

1. Windows Explorer

2. EV Archive Explorer

3. FSAUtility

I want the ability to restore a whole folder structure either back to the original location, or to a new location.

With Archive Explorer, I can select multiple files in a folder, but can't select multiple folders or a folder tree

Can I do this via Windows Explorer?

If not, is the only option FSAUility?

As per http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO57558#v40136604: Caution:  You must log on to the Enterprise Vault server locally. You cannot run FSAUtility if you log on remotely.

If my only option is FSAUtility, I would like the ability to launch it remotely via psexec.exe in a script (so the restoring user does not have to log onto the EV server directly) - will this work?

Thanks

Windows Explorer, and Archive Explorer are typically user-driven operations.  If you go that route you'll need to make sure that the registry keys for recalls are appropriately high:

 

 

RecallLimitMaxRecalls
RecallLimitTimeInterval
 
 
FSAUtility is good if YOU are doing it, and you have a mega list to work from.  Then you can script it all.  I've never tried executing it via PSEXEC.   How would you build up the command that you'll issue?

Thanks. I haven't worked out how the command will be built up, likely a web form or something the end user can enter info into, then psexec will do its work. The end user will drive these requests, so I would prefer them to use Windows Explorer and/or Archive Explorer to do the large restores, if it's possible to quickly select and restore whole directory trees.
