Restoring data by setting job properties

If you are familiar with Backup Exec, you can restore data by selecting the options you want to use in the restore job.

See About selecting data to restore.

See About redirecting restore jobs.

See Filtering jobs.

See About restoring file permissions.

To protect remote resources, you must install the Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Systems on the remote computer.

Depending on your file system environment, byte counts for restored data may not match the byte count recorded when the data was backed up. This is normal and does not mean that files were excluded in the restore job.

See Troubleshooting restore issues.
