Hi,
is there a way to search for a specific filename to restore in a filespace if I don't know the folder path or only know one of the folders in that path?
Got to love it when a user asks you to restore a file they deleted, but don't remember the folder name. How do they know it's really deleted if they don't know the path? Anyway, I'm getting off topic.
Sure you can do it. Super easy with the GUI
click on Restore, expand the path as deep as the user can remember, than click on the magnifying glass to search:
Or with the command line, let's say the filename is: filename.txt and it exists somewhere on E:, you could do:
Code:
dsmc restore E:\filename.txt -subdir=yes -pick
Or on unix if it exists somewhere in /home, you could do:
