To restore data, you need to create and submit a restore job. You can create a restore job definition from the Create Restore Job link in the Navigation pane.

A restore job definition includes the following components:

These components are stored in NetVault Sets. For more information about NetVault Sets, see About NetVault Sets.

Each restore job has a Job ID number and a Job Name. The Job ID number is an auto-generated number. The Job Name is a user‑defined string that allows you to easily identify the job when monitoring its progress or viewing the job logs.

Creating restore jobs

You can use the restore job wizard to create and submit restore jobs. The wizard can be accessed from the Create Restore Job link in the Navigation pane.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets.

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

The Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page loads a maximum of 5000 records initially. The total number of records fetched is displayed at the lower-right corner of the table.
You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 5000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.
You can use the Search option to filter the table data and quickly find entries that contain the specified string in any column values. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string. For more information, see Searching for files in savesets.
NOTE: If the online backup index is unavailable for the selected saveset, the Confirm load dialog box is displayed. To load the index from the backup media, click OK, and then in the Load Index dialog box, type or select the number of days you want to store the index in the NetVault Database.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: job ID number, job title, tag, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, archive or not, saveset size, and cataloged status.
Restore All Using Defaults. This option selects the entire saveset and pre-populates the details on the Create Restore Job page. It then navigates you to the Create Restore Job page where you can optionally change the details by using the buttons beside each text box. The job name appears in the following format: Restore_Saveset savesetid_system date and time _jobid+1. Optionally, you can change the job name.
