Recover CA ARCserve D2D Data at File Level Granularity

CA ARCserve Backup lets you recover CA ARCserve D2D backup data at file level granularity from CA ARCserve Backup media. Use these steps when you want to recover individual files, folders, directories, and so on from CA ARCserve Backup media to CA ARCserve D2D servers.

The steps listed below describe how to perform the following recoveries:

• Recover CA ARCserve D2D data that was backed up via CA ARCserve D2D servers at file level granularity.
• Recover CA ARCserve D2D virtual machine data that was backed up via CA ARCserve D2D vSphere proxy servers at file level granularity.

Note: The following steps describe how to submit restore jobs using the Restore by Session method. The process of restoring CA ARCserve D2D data and CA ARCserve D2D virtual machine data using the Restore by Tree method is identical to that of all other types of data. For more information about the Restore by Tree method, see "Restoring Data."
