Searching for files in savesets
The Search option on the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page allows you to find specific files or data items without opening any savesets or browsing through their contents. You can use filenames or regular expressions to find the data items that you want to restore.
To configure or enable the catalog search, click the bulb icon shown near the Search button on the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page. The catalog search supports the regular expression syntax used by Elasticsearch. For more information on Elasticsearch, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html. For more information on catalog search, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, provide the following information: |
|
• |
Rename: Type a new name for the selected item. When specifying the filename, include the extension. Otherwise, the file is restored with no extension. For example, when renaming the file “old.txt,” if you type “new” in the Rename box, the file is restored without the “.txt” extension. |
|
• |
Relocate: Type the full path to the new restore location. |
|
NOTE: To rename an item without changing its location, use only the Rename option. To change the restore location without changing the name, use only the Relocate option. Use both options if you want to rename the item and change its location. |
