After Your Files Are Restored

Depending on the options specified by the CA VM:Backup system administrator, CA VM:Backup either executes your requests immediately or holds them until an operator releases them for processing. CA VM:Backup also puts your request on hold if certain errors occur while processing the request. To see whether your requests are on hold, select Option 3, Review your restore requests, from the main menu.

After processing your request, CA VM:Backup sends you a message telling you that your request has been completed and automatically sends all restored files to your virtual reader. CA VM:Backup also sends a file called RESTORE VMBACKUP to your virtual reader. The RESTORE VMBACKUP file is a report on how CA VM:Backup handled each file in your restore request. If any files that you asked CA VM:Backup to restore are not in your reader, read the RESTORE VMBACKUP file to determine why CA VM:Backup did not restore these files.

In certain circumstances, you will find that CA VM:Backup restored duplicate versions of the same files to your virtual reader, even though you did not request them. This is not an error; it may have occurred because the restore job was interrupted and then restarted. Receive any version of the file and discard the rest.
