Selecting a SnapVault Restore Destination
In the restore destination tree, you can drill down to view the contents of a volume. Note that drilling down in the restore destination tree is not the same as selecting a destination. That is, you may be able to expand the tree but not necessarily select all levels that are viewable.
If restoring a qtree to a storage system, specify the name of a qtree that does not exist on the volume to which you are restoring. SnapVault will create the qtree automatically, as described in the procedure below. If you want to restore data to its original location, delete the qtree with that name on the primary storage system first. Use SnapVault to create a new qtree, as described in the procedure below.
If restoring a directory or file to a storage system, specify a destination directory, which may or may not exist, as described in the procedure below.
If restoring to an open system, specify a name of a destination directory, which may or may not exist, as described in the procedure below.
To specify a destination directory or qtree that does not exist:
The following example procedure creates a new directory in an open system; the same procedure is used to create a new directory or qtree on a NetApp storage system:
Right-click the volume or directory in the destination tree to which you want to add the new directory. A context menu appears.
Select Create New Directory from the context menu. The Define Target Directory dialog box appears. Enter the name of your new directory (or qtree) and click OK. Note that slashes are not supported.
Repeat these steps as many times as necessary to create the desired directory structure. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create embedded new directories.
