File System Data Recovery

When using the Commvault Command CenterTM, recovering data is accomplished from the client or subclient view. There are several options available for restoring data depending on the agent type and the operating system.

Key points when restoring data:

  • Data can be restored in-place, which is on the same system, in the same location.
  • Data can be restored out-of-place, on the same server in an alternate location or on a different server.
  • Files can be restored in a remote location by providing a UNC path and the user who has access to the share.
  • Data can be overwritten if it already exists in the destination location.

There are three options to locate the data to restore:

  • Show latest backup – Self-explanatory.
  • Show backup as of specific date – Point-in-time browse based on a date and time.
  • Show backup for a date range – Displays files protected during a specific time range.
