File Systems File-Level Restore browser

When you prepare a restore job for a specific file system, the active resource that is created can be viewed in the File Systems File-Level Restore browser so that you can define the items to be restored. Use the browser to find and specify the directories or files that you want to restore from that file system. You can then specify an alternative location to direct the restored resources to a different location than the source.

Opening the File Systems File-Level Restore browser

After you click Submit in the Restore wizard, the restore job is prepared and the Active Resources tab in the Jobs and Operations page opens. To open the File Systems File-Level Restore browser, click the actions icon in the Resources table Active resource options and select Open Browser as shown.

Adding resources to the restore job by using the File Systems File-Level Restore browser

To add specific file system resources to a restore job, navigate to the required file system, directories, or files. Add items to the Restore List section by clicking the icon next to the file system item Add resource.

Restoring file system resources to an alternative location

To clone or copy resources, and to restore those resources to a different location on the same file system, you can specify a valid Windows™ path as the target in the Alternative Location in the Options pane.

Monitoring a restore job

When you click Restore in the File Systems File-Level Restore browser, you can monitor the progress of the restore job in the Restore Tasks pane.
