Veritas™ System Recovery 18 Service Pack 3 Management Solution Administrator's Guide

To recover files and folders locally by using a recovery point

1. On the client computer, in the Veritas System Recovery Tasks page, click Recover My Files.
2. In the left pane of the Recover My Files window, select Recovery Point.
3. If you want to use a different recovery point than the one selected for you in the Recovery Point box, click Change.

   Note:

   If Veritas System Recovery cannot locate any recovery points, the Select Recovery Point dialog box opens automatically.

4. In the Select Recovery Point dialog box, set the View by option.

   Date	Displays all of the discovered recovery points in the order in which they were created. If no recovery points were discovered, the table is empty. You should choose one of the remaining View by options.
   File name	Lets you browse to another location. For example, an external (USB) drive, removable media, or a network location (with proper network credentials) to select a recovery point (.v2i).
   System	Displays a list of all of the drives on the computer and shows any associated recovery points. You can also select a system index file (.sv2i) to display each recovery point that you want to recover.

5. In the Find files to recover box, type the whole name or partial name of a file or folder that you want to restore, and then click Search.

   For example, type recipe to return any file or folder that includes the word recipe in its name, such as My Recipes.doc, Recipes.xls, Recipe poetry.mp3, and so forth.

6. In the table that lists the files, select the files that you want to restore.
7. Click Recover Files on the toolbar .
8. In the Recover My Files dialog box, do one of the following:

   To restore the files to the same folder where they existed when they were backed up	Click Original folders. If you want to replace the original files, check Overwrite existing files. If you do not check this option, a number is added to the file name. The original file is untouched. Note: The Overwrite existing files option replaces files of the same name at that location, with the files that you want to restore.
   To restore the files to a Recovered Files folder on the Windows desktop	Click Recovered Files folder on the desktop. Veritas System Recovery creates a new folder that is called Recovered Files which is created on the Windows desktop of the client computer.
   To restore the files to a particular folder path	Click Alternate folder, and then type the path to the location in which you want to restore the files.

9. Click Recover.
10. If you are certain that the file you want to recover is the correct one, click Yes.
