NetVault Plug-in for NDMP 10.0.5 - Application Notes for Dell FluidFS

Renaming or relocating data

When restoring a backup, you can rename the directories to create a copy of the data instead of overwriting of the existing versions. You can also relocate the data to a different volume. This procedure can be useful if the original volume is down or if you are dealing with limited bandwidth or capacity.

 
* 
NOTE: This feature is only available to savesets that were created with the Save File Information option.
