Restoring Files Using Backup Assist

Use the following steps to restore files using Backup Assist.

 

  1. Launch BackupAssist from the desktop icon. Be sure that the desired backup tape has been loaded into the REV drive.
     

  2. Once the application has started, click Restore from the menu, and then click BackupAssist Restore Console to begin.



     

  3. When the Restore BackupAssist Console appears choose Load all known backups.



     

  4. Select the directories and files you wish to restore from the backup media. As this particular exercise involves restoring the database files, expand the directory tree on the backup device and select the four backup files within the right hand pane of the file explorer. Once the request files are selected, click the Restore to option.



     

  5. On the BackupAssist Restore screen you can change the backup and restore locations as well as adjust restore options. In this example, and as is the case when performed by STI technicians, the Restore to: field has been changed to An alternate location and the Destination field has been changed to C:\STIRestore.  The default Restore Options is used.  Click OK to proceed.



     

  6. After the restore has been attempted the result will be displayed and when finished click Done.
