Running Restore Jobs

You can open a restore job and run it immediately. You have the option to view the job monitor when the run is initiated.

Note. A restore definition must be saved as a job before it can be run.

Running restore jobs in the Java-based DPX Management Interface

In the Java-based DPX Management Interface, take the following steps to run a restore job immediately:

1. On the task panel, click Run and Monitor Restore Job. Or, click Run Restore Job instead to run the restore job. In either case, the restore job starts immediately.

2. If you elected to view the job monitor, the dedicated job monitor for the given backup job appears.

3. If this is an Image restore, you will be asked to confirm the restore operation.

Tip. If you attempt to restore files and the Restore window says, “No data in catalog”, set the browse period to cover a specific time frame or from Oldest to Latest. In the Modify Restore Browse Criteria dialog, check off the “Include Expired Jobs” and “Include Offsite Media” options.

If this does not solve the problem, the data might no longer be in the Catalog. Check backup logs and the job retention setting for data. If the data is in the Catalog, check whether the tapes that may contain the data but are expired have been overwritten. If they have not been overwritten, use Tape restore to recover the data.
