10. Begin your restoration process.
a. From the Management Console on the target, select Tools, Restoration Manager.
b. Select the Original Source machine. This is your source machine where the data originally resided.
c. Select the Restore From machine. This is the target machine where the copy of the data is stored.
d. Replication Set contains the replication set information stored on the target machine (the machine in Restore
From
). If no replication sets are available, the list will be blank. Select the replication set that corresponds to the
data that you need to restore.
e. Select the Restore To machine. This is your temporary source that has the unique IP address.
f. The Restore To and Restore From paths will automatically be populated when the replication set is selected. The
restore to path is the directory that is the common parent directory for all of the directories in the replication set.
If the replication set crosses volumes, then there will be a separate path for each volume. The restore from path is
the path on the target server where the replicated files are located.
g. Select the Use Backup Replication Set check box to use the target’s copy of the replication set database for the
restoration. If this check box is not marked, you will be accessing the replication set information from the source.
h. Select the Restore Replication Set check box to restore the target’s copy of the replication set database to the
source during the restoration process.
i. Select the restoration conditionals that you want to use.
Overwrite existing files during restore—This option restores all existing files by overwriting them. Any files
that do not exist on the source are written also. If this option is disabled, only files that do not exist on the
source will be restored.
Only if backup copy is more recent—This option restores only those files that are newer on the target than on
the source. The entire file is overwritten with this option.
NOTE: Restoring across a NAT router requires the ports to be the same as the original connection. If the
ports have been modified (manually or reinstalled), you must set the port numbers to the same values
as the last valid source/target connection.
NOTE: If you are using a database application, do not use the newer option unless you know for certain
you need it. With database applications, it is critical that all files, not just some of them that might
be newer, get mirrored.
