What is the procedure to restore from a backup.

Hi all,
I need assistance restoring from a backup. I am using Veritas Backup Exec 9.0. I don't know the procedure, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Go into restore, select the day\tape you want to restore from expand the tree until you find the file(s) you want and then select them.

Hit run now, insert the correct tape if you haven't already and by magic the files will be back......

You may want to redirect the files for more control over the restore? By adding a prefix of RESTORED to the file (manually) then putting them back in the correct place for the user.

After you've done you selections, under one of the tabs somewhere will be a tick box that says Folder Redirection or something very similar.

Select that you will then be able to restore the \\server1\c$\folder1\folder2\folder3\excel.xls file to say c:\temp\folder1\folder2\folder3\excel.xls on your backup server and then deal with it manually.

Just saves overwriting any existing files because now and again you get err actually i didn't want that one but the one that was already there......
