For got .....

Once you are done close that window in the window before you close the
BAR

If you do not do this then every time you open the BAR it will open up
this window too and you could end up with a bunch of these... so to make
life easy close the inside window first.

This is in reference to using the Windows Remote Admin gui

First  open the BAR

File/Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type

Top box - ALWAYS THE MASTER!    

Second box - Source client
This is the server that had the file that went to the tape (that jack
built)
If the server name is NOT listed hit the button edit client list, add
the server name in the top, click Add names, click ok.  That name should
now appear in the pull down for the second and third boxes.  (they will
NOT be in alpha order, and they will NOT get removed when you remove a
server from netbackup - totally manual)

Third box - Destination client -
This is the server you want it to be restored to.  Can be the same
server or a different server -if server not listed see instructions
above for adding name - it's the same list.

Forth box - Policy
This must match the polcy type of what you are trying to restore.
If your source was a unix box - standard
A windows box choose MS-Windows-NT
Follow same rule for any specials like oracle Informix SQL if you use
the agents.

Click ok

Now on the tape there window inside your window (remember this for
latter)

In the top by default it will have the funky dots --- hate these 
Choose View/and UN-check Show as time line
This will give you a view that is so much better.

So now in the top of your window you see time Backed up - Note this is
the time the backup started. So if you had backups the night of 11/23
(Monday night) but they don't kick off till 2 am - they will show up
here as 11/24 with a 2:00 am time  (those dot things don't let you see
this)  You also get to see how big and the Schedule type and the Policy
name - this is helpful to me if I have a server that gets backed up in
two different policies.

So now in the top window choose your date range ( you can pick more than
one image)

On the bottom left you will see the folders that are in the images you
choose on the top.
Now go drill down to find what you want to restore.
If you want a whole folder choose it on the left with a check mark.  If
you want files in a folder find the files on the right had side.  
Note here you can see when the file was backed up as well as its size
and the last time it was modified.

(Side note: this can come in handy when looking for a file before the
last change....
Say you choose 3 days worth of backups - by default it will only show
you the LAST time it was backed up.
But if you choose view/show All Backups (also a button on the left)  you
will see all copies of that file that got backed up on those three
dates.  So here you might see the last copy was modified 11/23 and prior
to that you see the last time it was modified was 11/20 and that version
is on the 11/20 tapes.  So you choose that one to get a check mark and
it will restore that version --- now back to the show)

Searching - you can search for files as well but I don't do this often.

So now you can click the button to preview the tapes needed (order your
tapes from offsite) then do this again.
Or
Go ahead and start the restore Actions/Restore or the button on the left

New Window
Option to restore it from whence it came is default
To put it some place else choose the second one and type in the path or
try to browse
Example - where it first came from is displayed home:\me\myfile
I change it to home:\me\restore\myfile
In this example I am using the Window remote admin console and I am
restore to a Unix box.
Note that the path is in "dos format"  that is ok,  

The third option here is if you are doing more then one file and you
want one file to go to my home and the second file to go to your home,
you can change the path for each file ( I think I only used this once)

Now the options - by default if the file is already on disk where you
are restoring it to it will not restore the file.
So if you want to overwrite that file you need to click the box to do
that.

Click Start/Restore
When it asks you if you want to view - say yes
When that window opens make sure you have it set to verbose and with a
refresh set.
This will show you what tape it is looking for - if you did not get the
tape already the job will wait till you get it into the library - if you
have to go offsite for it, suspend the job and resume it when you do
have the tape.

Any issues with the backup will be in this window as well as details of
what it is restore like if it is putting the file to a different
directory.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Hey you GUI guys!!!

Most of you know me as the CLI guy- but I'm trying to train a couple NT
guys in how to restore files and having a hard time.  The want to use
the GUI and I don't know how to help.

The want to restore a file from client1 onto client2 via the GUI and
change the path of the file at the same time.

I have the No.Restrictions file touched on the master server.

Can this be done via client GUI?
