Setting restore options
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the following parameters on the Options tab:
|
• |
|
• |
In the Restore Name box of the Physical Recovery Options section, verify that the correct name is displayed. |
By default, the value in this field is the name of the NetVault Backup Server from which this backup was originally performed, based on the backup saveset selected from the Create Selection Set page. This name is associated with a specific IP address that was previously configured. If this value is left at its default setting, selected data is restored to a machine that uses the same information as the machine that was originally backed up.
Finalizing and submitting the restore job
The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting. |
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Linux®, the name can have a maximum of 200 characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
