2.13 NAME 103

THE RESTORE PROCESS The restore process performs the following steps:

1. According to the speciﬁed restore source, one or more backup images are

copied from disk (local or remote disk volume or share) or tape (FSE

medium in the backup FSE media pool) and temporarily stored in FSE disk

buffer.

2. This step depends on whether restore or retrieval of backup images is re-

quested:

• If restore is requested, the backup image ﬁle is uncompressed and con-

tents of the archive are extracted to the appropriate locations on the

FSE server.

• If retrieval of backup images is requested, depending on the options

speciﬁed in the command line, backup image ﬁles are either preserved

in FSE disk buffer or moved to the speciﬁed directory.

Note:

After restore, you need to manually start FSE processes on each host in the

FSE implementation with the command fse – –start. External FSE clients

should be started after the consolidated FSE system or FSE server.

ACTIVITY LOGGING fserestore reports its progress to the FSE event log

and FSE restore log. Errors encountered during restore process are reported to the

FSE error log. For location and names of log ﬁles, see section FILES.
