- Open the Backup Archive GUI Client:
Start ->
Programs ->
Tivoli Storage Manager ->
Backup Archive GUI
- If you are not using Passwordaccess Generate, enter your ADSM password.
- Click on Restore.
- Your backed up files can be found under File Level. Navigate through
the directory tree by clicking on the boxes with the pluses -- + -- in them to expand a directory, to locate the file(s) you want to restore.
- To select a file or a whole subdirectory to restore, click on the gray
box next to its name; a black checkmark will appear in the gray box. You may
select any number of individual files to restore this way or click by the name of a directory to select all the files in that directory and all subdirectories.
- If you do not want the very latest backed up version of your files,
click the Point In Time button to enter when you want your files restored
from. An example of when you would want to do this is if a file became corrupted
by a software bug, a virus, or a simple typing mistake, before your most recent
backup; specify a point in time here before the corruption occurred
- Click the Restore button.
- You will be asked to Select destination for restored objects. Either
choose Original location, or specify some other location. Click the Restore
button to continue.
 - It may ask File already exists - replace? or File is Read-Only
- force overwrite?
Your choices are Replace, Do not Replace, and Cancel; Overwrite, Do not Overwrite, and Cancel. You also have the choice of Apply action to all remaining files. And there is help. Click what you want to do with the file(s).
 - Now the actual restore operation will take place. There may be some
delay (5 minutes is typical) during this process when your restore operation
will appear to be hung. Just be patient -- it is waiting for your turn to use
a tape drive, mounting the tape(s) that contains your files, and locating
them on the tape.
- When it is done, it will say Restore completed and let you see a
detailed report of what it restored.
