How to view versions of a directory or file that have been backed up

You can designate the entire filesystem, specific directories, or individual files for recovery. Note, that if you select a directory for recovery, all of its nested subdirectories and files are also selected for recovery. To exclude certain files from recovery after selecting an entire directory, you must deselect them.

Recovering data from a previous backup

From the NetWorker User program’s Recover window you can browse the entries for each backed-up file listed in the client file index. By changing the browse time, you can view the entries for the backed-up files for a particular period. You might want to do this if you need to:

...

  1. Launch the NetWorker User program and click the Recover button to open the Source Client dialog box.

  2. Select the source client whose data you want to recover, and click OK. The local client is the default selection.

  3. Select the destination client for the recovered data, and click OK. The local client is the default selection.

  4. From the View menu, select Change Browse Time.

    1. In the Change Browse Time dialog box, select a new day within the calendar. Select Previous Month or Next Month to change from the current month.

    2. In the optional Time field, change the time of the day by entering an hour, minute, and the letter a (for a.m.) or p (for p.m). Use the 12-hour time format, rather than the 24-hour time format.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Select the files or directories you want to recover as described in How to recover data.

If there are no entries for files backed up at the time selected in the Time field, the NetWorker software displays files that were backed up at the closest preceding time. However, if the time selected in the Time field is earlier than the first entry in the client file index, the NetWorker software warns you that there are no files backed up at the specified time.

Resolving recovered data conflicts

By default, the NetWorker server attempts to recover data to its original location, using the original file and directory names. However, if another file or directory with the same name is present in that same location, a file recovery conflict occurs. You can instruct the NetWorker software to respond to these recovery conflicts either automatically or on an file-by-file basis.

By default, the NetWorker software prompts you each time a naming conflict occurs during a recovery. The Naming Conflict dialog box appears each time there is a filename conflict. The naming conflict resolution options available during a recovery are:
