Setting Restore Options During a Media Restore

For files and directory restores delivered on media, follow the steps in the document provided in the media package (either "Restoring Your Data From a NAS Device" or "Restoring Your Data From the CD-ROM") to restore the data from the media to your computer by using the Restore Completion wizard (included on the media). These documents are also available from the help topic Restoring Your Data from Media.

You can set the following restore options in the Restore Completion wizard:

• Specify how LiveVault Online Backup Service will handle filename conflicts between restored files and existing files on your computer during the restore. By default, LiveVault Online Backup Service renames the existing file.

• Decide whether to redirect the restore, so the data is restored to a different location on your computer, instead of to its original location. By default, LiveVault Online Backup Service restores files to their original location.

• Specify whether to restore the original NTFS security descriptors for the restored files, or to use the default security at the restore location.

Note: With a Media restore, it is possible to restore your data to a different computer (that is, not the original Agent computer). In this case, be careful that you do not inadvertently overwrite files that have the same name as the files being restored.
