This section describes procedures used for restoring data from archives. To restore from tape archives, follow the instructions provided in Restoring from tape.
When you perform an archive restore, the archived data is restored to the backup system as a regular backup. After you restore an archive to the backup system, you can restore it to the client in the same manner used to restore other backups. For more details about the restore process, see Archive restore. For details on restoring a backup to a client, see Restore Overview.
Archive sets are organized into a hierarchy consisting of Archive set, backups for each client, and the archived backup level. When restoring, you can select the set, an individual client, or a particular backup.
Each archive set contains the system metadata file which can be used to restore the Unitrends system in the event of a disaster. For details, see To view archive information.
