Restoring data

The following procedure describes how to restore data from a partial backup file. To restore data from a full backup file, see the instructions for restoring the system in the section "Installation" of this help system.

To restore data from a partial backup file:

1. From web administration, go to the Restore screen (Backup/Restore > Restore).
2. Select Restore.
3. Examine and, if necessary, change the NFS Mount Directory where backup files are stored.
4. Select Submit.

   The system displays the Restore from NFS Mount Directory screen. For information about this screen, see Restore from NFS Mount Directory screen.

5. In the Backup File Name field, select the backup file that you want to use to restore data.
6. (Optional) If you want to specify a list of files to restore, in the File List field, specify the full path of the file that contains a list of backed up files to be restored.

   For information about creating a file that contains the list of files to backup, see Creating a file list for a partial backup or restore.
