Veritas Enterprise Vault™ Utilities

Recalling files corresponding to placeholders

You can use FSAUtility with the -b parameter to recall files corresponding to placeholders present in a folder. This facility recalls the placeholders in a given source folder, irrespective of the volume and archive in which the files are located. It also works with placeholders that you have copied into the source folder from another folder.

You can choose to recall files recursively from the subfolders of the source folder, if required.

By default, FSAUtility recalls the files in asynchronous mode. You can choose instead to recall files synchronously if you want. With a synchronous recall you can set a timeout for file recalls, and see the progress of each file recall operation. To recall files synchronously and to set a timeout for file recalls, create a DWORD registry entry called FileDownloadTimeOut under the following key on the Enterprise Vault server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault
     \FSARestore

If FileDownloadTimeOut is set to 0, FSAUtility recalls files asynchronously. Any value greater than 0 denotes the timeout, in seconds, for each file recall.

FSAUtility -b -s UNC_path [-D mm-dd-yyyy] [-e ext_list] [-recurse] [-r]

Where:

The following command recalls the Word and Excel files that have placeholders in the folder \\myserver\users. It also recalls files within subfolders, if any.

FSAUtility -b -s \\myserver\users -e *.doc,*.xls -recurse

The following command recalls all the files that have placeholders in the folder\\myserver\users and that were archived after May 26 2009. It only recalls files from the parent folder.

FSAUtility -b -s \\myserver\users -D 05-26-2009
