Retrieve archives

Edit online

Retrieve a file when you want to return an archive copy from the server to your workstation.

Many of the advanced considerations for retrieving files are the same as for restoring files.

Important:
  • When you retrieve a file without any specifications, and more than one version of the archive copy exists on the server, the client retrieves all of the copies. After the first copy is retrieved, the second copy is retrieved. If there is an existing copy on your client workstation, you are prompted to replace, skip, or cancel.
  • Data that is archived with IBM® Storage Protect Client can be retrieved only with the same version that was used to archive the data, or a later version.
