Transport a Restore Point

Use the following procedure to transport a restore point to another server. Once a restore point is

transported, it is removed from the source server. On the target server, the transported restore point is

available under the Local Volumes extension, regardless of its source extension.

Restore points can be transported only to a server compatible with the operating system of the source

server.

NOTE: The Transfer Restore Points option is not available for VMware restore points or for any

restore points with components stored on SMB file shares.

NOTE: In a clustered-server environment, transferring a restore point to a passive node is not

supported.

1. In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to a server or host.

2. In the Backup Extensions area of the navigation pane, select a data source.

3. Select the restore point you want to transfer to another server.

4. In the Transfer Restore Points area of the action pane, click Transport to Server. The Choose Target

Server dialog box appears. If the server or host is not on the list, add the target server.

5. Select the server to transfer the restore point to, and click OK. The restore point is transferred to the

target server.

NOTE: When the restore point is transferred to another server, it is only available on that server.

NOTE: After restore points are transferred (with the exception of Local Volume transfer), the

Restore option is not available in the Restore Points pane. In addition, the Run Now option in

the Backup Set pane is available only if the same drive letter components exist in the target

server.

6. To view the transferred restore point:

a. In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to the server to which you

transferred the restore point.

b. In the Backup Extensions area of the navigation pane, click Local Volumes.
