Backup set restores using the client command-line interface

Edit online

The client command line interface can restore data from a backup set from the server, from a local file, or from a local tape device. You can use the client command line interface to restore individual files from local backup sets and from backup sets without a TOC.

To restore a backup set from the client command line interface, use the query backupset command to display what backup set data is available, then use restore commands to restore the data.

You can use the following commands to restore data from backup sets:

  • restore
  • restore backupset
  • restore image
  • Windows operating systemsrestore systemstate
Use the appropriate command for the location of the backup set and the data in the backup set. For more information, see Table 2.
