Using CA ARCserve Backup › Restoring Data › Restore by Session

Restore by Session

To restore data by session, perform the following procedure:

1. In the Restore Manager, select Restore by Session from the Source View drop- down list.

   A list of media that you have used for backups is displayed in the Browser.

2. Expand the tree for the media from which you want to restore.
3. Double-click on the name of the media that holds your data to display a list of sessions logged to the database for that media.

   If you try to expand a backup session that has been pruned from the database, you will be asked whether you want to merge the pruned session.

4. Select or expand the tree for the session that contains the files you need to restore.

   If you only want to restore specific files or directories from a session, expand the tree for the session, and then select the files and directories.

5. Repeat step 2 and 3 for each session on the media from which you want to restore.
