Selectively recalling migrated files

You can search a file system and selectively recall migrated files.

About this task

You can selectively recall only files that were replaced with stubs when they were migrated. You must recall files with an HSM for Windows™ client command. You cannot recall files with the HSM for Windows client GUI.

Restriction: When selectively recalling a file, you can recall only the primary data stream data. You cannot selectively recall the Windows alternate data stream (ADS) data.

Procedure

From a DOS prompt, enter the HSM for Windows client dsmclc command.

Use the dsmclc recall command to specify a single file path or a pattern with wildcards. Use the dsmclc recalllist command to specify a file that contains a list of stub files.

For example, to recall all migrated .xls files in the c:\projects\2013\ directory, issue the following command:

dsmclc recall c:\projects\2013\*.xls
