Display Restore Points for a Component
When components are selected, the available restore points are displayed on the right side of the explorer.
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 a component. Right‑click the name of a server or host and click Select All to select all listed components or Select All Children
to select all its components.
Restore point details are displayed in the Restore Point Details and Restore Point Report tabs in the bottom pane of the display.
Restore Data to its Original Location
Use the Restore Snapshot dialog box to recover (overwrite) the original data with the selected restore point data.
About this task
The Restore action restores data to its original location, overwriting existing data with the restore point data. To prevent losing any data at
the original location, make sure to take a backup after all changes are made to a database before using Restore or use Expose (rather than
Restore) and then manually merge Replay data with the existing data.
NOTE
: For VMware Virtual Machines restore points only: Under some conditions, restore operations do not retain the thin-
provisioned state of the original component; that is, a restore operation may allocate all virtual disk space, resulting in greater
than expected space consumption.
NOTE: The Restore action is not available for the Local Volumes backup extension. This action includes all restore points that
have been transported to another server.
NOTE: The Restore action is not available for the VMware Datastores backup extension.
