Restore Considerations

Prior to performing a CA ARCserve D2D On Demand restore, you should consider the following:

Restore Considerations for a remote destination
If all the drive letters (A - Z) are occupied, the restore to a remote path will not succeed because CA ARCserve D2D On Demand needs to use one drive letter to mount the remote destination path.
Restore Considerations for Hyper-V servers
On a Hyper-V server (even if you have the proper VM license), you must manually restore VHD files of VM and then re-register them with Hyper-V Manager.

Note: After the VHDs are restored they are not directly registered with Hyper-V Manager. You can either attach them to existing VM or create a new VM and attach those to them.
Restore Considerations for a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database with FILESTREAM data
Both the database and its related FILESTREAM BLOB data can be automatically backed-up by CA ARCserve D2D On Demand, but the FILESTREAM BLOB data cannot be restored automatically with the database. This is because FILESTREAM feature is not supported by the latest SQL Server Writer. As a result, when one database with FILESTREAM BLOB data is restored, just restoring the database is no longer enough, and the folder of FILESTREAM BLOB data also needs to be restored.

Note: FILESTREAM is a feature introduced by Microsoft SQL Server 2008, which provides the capability of storing binary large object (BLOB) data (MP3, Word, Excel, PDF, etc.) in the NTFS file system, rather than in a database file.
