Destination options

This section describes:


SCO ARCserve/Open provides two destination options. The following example illustrates the destination options:

To apply options to the destination for your restore jobs:

  1. Select your destination.

    Make sure that you have first selected your destination (at least the client you are restoring to).

  2. In the Destination area of the Restore Manager window, click the Destination button.

    The Destination Options dialog box will appear.

  3. Specify the destination options to include in your restore job.

    Each destination option is detailed below.



Specifying the destination path

This field will display the starting point for the destination path selected in the Destination area of the Restore Manager window.



Creating the directory structure

SCO ARCserve/Open will create directories on the destination volume or drive based on the Directory Structure option that you select.



What is the base directory

A base directory is the next level up in the directory tree from where your file is, that is, the directory where your selected files are located. The source pane below illustrates a base directory:



What if the file already exists on the destination?

If there are files on the destination that have the same name as files being restored, select one of these options to control what SCO ARCserve/Open will do. The default selection, Overwrite All Files, will simply overwrite the existing file on the destination with the file from the source.
