Extract Wizard

The Extract Wizard helps you restore data from a backup to a specified folder. With this wizard, you can select the System State components you want to extract from the computer’s backup and specify the destination folder for the extracted files.

The wizard has the following steps:

Backup Selection

Use this page to view a list of computers for which backups are available and to select a backup and System State components in the backup.

  • Locate the backup under computer name. Provides a list of computers for which backups are available and allows you to select a backup to perform a restore. For the selected computer, the window lists all backups that are available in Recovery Manager for Active Directory. A backup entry includes the date and time when the backup was created, and displays the backup age in days. By selecting check boxes under a backup entry, you can extract individual components of the System State. The list only includes the backups that are registered in the Recovery Manager for Active Directory configuration database.
  • Register. To register additional backups, click Register, and then click one from the following items:
    • Register Backup File. Registers a Microsoft Tape Format (MTF)-compliant backup file (.bkf) or BMR backup (.vhd, .vhdx).
    • Register Backups in Folder. Registers all backup files that are in the selected folder.

In the Extract Wizard, you can use backups created by applications that store backups in Microsoft Tape Format (MTF), such as Windows Backup or Veritas Backup Exec.

To select a backup

  • Click the computer whose backup you want to use, double-click the backup you want to use, and select check boxes next to component names.

Folder Selection

Use this page to specify the folder where the wizard will restore the selected System State components.

  • Folder where to place the extracted files. Provides a space for you to type the path to the folder where the wizard will place the extracted files.
  • Browse. Click Browse to locate the folder on your computer or network.

Operation Start

This page provides an overview of the settings you have specified. Click Back to review or change your settings or click Next to start the operation.
