Using the Restore table
The Restore table displays the available restore locations where data is available for restore operations at the system and component levels.
The Restore table on the Backup
and Restore page of the console contains
information about the restore locations that have data available to
restore.
Note: In the context of performing restore operations on backed
up data, previously defined backup locations are now also referred
to as restore locations.
The Restore table
displays a single restore location in each row. The following columns
in the table are defined for each restore location:
- Location
- This is the unique name of the location that was previously configured in the Set backup location window.
- Size
- The estimated size of the restore data available at the restore location. If a backup has not yet been run for a configured location (backup size is 0 MB), that location is not displayed in this table.
- Status
- The status of the restore location. Valid values include the following:
- Available
- The restore location can be accessed to perform restore operations.
- Permission denied
- The user does not have sufficient authority to perform restore operations on this restore location.
- Unable to connect
- The connection to the restore location could not be completed successfully.
- Unavailable
- The restore location cannot be accessed to perform restore operations.
Click the radio button next to a restore location name to select it for restore operations.
