Restore Methods

The goal of running a successful restore job is to quickly identify the data you need and to retrieve it from the appropriate backup location. CA ARCserve D2D On Demand provides a variety of methods to identify and locate the backed up data and allow you to restore it. Regardless of which restore method you select, CA ARCserve D2D On Demand uses visual indicators (restore markers) of the objects that are or are not selected for restore. For more information, see Restore Markers.

Note: CA ARCserve D2D On Demand only allows one restore job to run at the same time. If you attempt to manually launch a restore job now and during that time another restore job is currently running, an alert message opens informing you that another job is running and requesting that you try again at a later time.
