Choosing Tree View

The ``Tree View'' is the default view for the SCO ARCserve/Open Restore Manager. This view was used earlier in the chapter when we covered a basic restore job.

The ``Tree View'' method shows you a graphical directory tree of servers and clients. Files and directories that have been backed up are all displayed graphically, allowing you to select what you want to restore. After you specify the files and directories, SCO ARCserve/Open lists the tapes you will need for the job.

If you are not a Queue Operator, you are not able to use the ``Tree View'' to selectively restore hosts, directories, or files.


To use the ``Tree View'' to restore:

  1. In the Restore Manager, click the Tree View button.

    This is the default view, so you are probably already looking at the Source area through the ``Tree View''.

    The source area will display a graphical representation of all servers and clients that have been backed up with SCO ARCserve/Open.

  2. Select what you want to restore.

    Refer to ``Software Basics'' if you need help using the Browser to select your source files for the restore job.

    When restoring, you can select many files and directories from the same client, but you can only restore up to one host (or NetWare volume, if the client is a NetWare server) per job. If you try to select from different hosts, SCO ARCserve/Open will de-select anything that was previously selected.

    After you have selected what you want to restore, you can continue by selecting your destination, adding any options, and running the job.
