Restoring your data
The Management Console provides an easy method for restoring replicated data from the target back to the original source
or to a new source server. You are only required to input the original source, the target, and the name of the replication set
you want to restore. Storage Mirroring handles the rest, including selecting the files in the replication set and restoring them
to the correct location.
1. From the Management Console. select Tools, Restoration Manager.
2. Select the Original Source machine. This is your source machine where the data originally resided.
3. Select the Restore From machine. This is the target machine where the copy of the data is stored.
4. 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.
5. Select the Restore To machine. This is the machine where the copy of the data will be sent.
6. 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.
7. Use the default settings for the remaining restoration options.
8. Click Restore to begin the restoration.
9. After the restoration is complete, disconnect the restoration connection. You can identify a restoration connection
because it is enclosed in parenthesis ( ) and it has _Restore appended to the end of the replication set name.
