FSA placeholder recalls

[Vikes_2]

Hello,

I have a question about something that I have not tried before and was looking for confirmation.

I have been asked to recall data from a restored backup from a file server. The problem is that they want to restore the data to a server that is different from the original archive target.  I was not sure just installing the fsa agent on the new sever would work, do the placeholders function properly if they are on a different server than where they were originally archived? I would think that the server would need to be targeted and was not sure how the placeholders functioned if they were not on the original server.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Travis

Do recalls work ok from the restored server? only seen sometimes depending on the Backup software used these do not recreate the reparsepoint information correctly or alternate data streams for archive points.

If it does great, you could use FSAUtility to restore to alternate location. This should be covered in the utilities guide for EV.  However I would recommend that you are running at least ev8 sp4 to use this. 

Alternatley you can you look to use things like robocopy and set the reg keys below as per the EV registry guide.

Both guides should be avail;able on the product media.
