Selecting Directories

If you responded yes to the question on searching specific directories, CA VM:Backup displays the Select Directories from Which to Restore Files screen.

The Directory Name column contains directory names. If the data was backed up from the root directory, a slash appears in column one. If the data was backed up from a subdirectory, the name is indented according to the position the subdirectory occupies in the directory tree (three characters for each subdirectory level). If a directory name is not visible on the screen due to indentation, CA VM:Backup displays the string, ==>, on the right side of the line to indicate that output exists on that line.

To select the directories you want CA VM:Backup to search, type S in the Req column next to each directory you want to restore files from. You can type S next to more than one entry. When you have made your selections, press PF9 (Submit) to submit the request.

CA VM:Backup searches only the selected directories for files that meet your selection criteria, then creates a restore selection list on the file selection screen. Proceed to the next section, Selecting BFS Files to Restore.
