Enable Direct Access Recovery |
Enables Backup Exec to use Direct Access Recovery (DAR) during the restore job. With DAR-enabled recovery, Backup Exec can specify the exact location of a file in a backup data stream. The NDMP server can then read the data applicable to the single file being restored,. This practice reduces the amount of information that is processed and significantly reduces recovery time. If DAR is not available, the restore may take significantly longer. | ||
|
Preserve tree |
Restores the data with its original directory structure intact. This option is enabled by default. If you clear this option, all data in the directories and the subdirectories is restored to the path you specify in the File Redirection dialog box. See File Redirection restore options .

|
Restore over existing files |
Overwrites files on the target resource that have the same name as files that are being restored. Use this option only when you are sure that you want to restore an older version of a file. |
