3. From the Location to Restore Files pull-down menu, choose a location for
the restored files: restore to “restore” fileshare or replace existing files.
Replacing existing files overwrites files on your hard drive if there is a file
with the same name and location as the file being restored. This option
should only be used for disaster recovery, as it irreversibly alters the state of
the system.
The restore fileshare is the directory
/home/groups/restore/<BACKUPTIME>
where <BACKUPTIME> is the directory name used for the backup (for
example, 20000903040200). You cannot select or change this location, and
there must be enough space in the /home/ partition for the files.
This allows you to manually copy only those files you wish to restore.
4. Click Cancel to discard any changes you have made or click Restore to
restore the files. The restore job begins and proceeds in the background.
Administering the Qube 3 while a restore is underway is not recommended.
✍
Note: If you select the “Replace existing files” option to restore a
full backup, the Qube 3 automatically reboots when the restore is
complete.
!
Caution: Interrupting a restore can corrupt your data. If the restore
process is interrupted, the Qube 3 Administrator can try to restore
again.
