I'm trying to learn the new BackupExec. I have a virtual machine and am testing the backup solution from Backup Exec (which doesn't impress me as of yet) Now, I'm trying to test the restore function. I am trying to restore to my LOCAL drive on the backup server. Two issues.
1. When I ran the first restore job it saw the local drive, and I selected the "My documents" to restore a directory containing a mere 468mb of data. However, the "staging" operation in BE was reading up to 17Gigs when I stopped it.
I believe it was going to read the entire tape (537G) before it restored a measely 468mb directory. Is this the case?
If so, how can I get BE to just back up and restore the DATA, not the entire volume Image???
I need help on this or I'm going back to Arcserve..
Thanks
