ArcServe 11.1 in No, I Will Not Fix Your #@$!! Computer http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17780736 en Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:48:39 EDT Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:48:39 EDT Re: ArcServe 11.1 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17875591 Kilroy :

In this case you would have to go back into an earlier tape that you knew the data/directory was present and merge that tape. This of course means the user(s) who lost their info would have to know the date it was deleted (ha ha ha!). So, yes it could take a while of merging tapes to find the correct file/directory.
I wiped the database, one suggestion provided by someone at work. And I did merge the tape, but it still wasn't available in the drill down. I'm just thankful that it is done and in the future won't be my issue.

My problem was that the directory no longer existed, so it wasn't showing up in the drill down. The ArcServe filter options left more than a little to be desired as you have to enter 8.3 file names.

I'm thankful that this responsibility has been pulled away from my group. I'm just worried that the next user who needs a file restored will be out of luck. My normal method has been to use Novell's filer to restore the file. The problem is for some reason we don't have a DELETED.SAV directory, so if the directory is deleted all is lost.

You have to go into ArcServe Manager and then the Restore option. And the worst part...you must drill down to the directory/file that you want to restore.

Advice: Do NOT restore to the place the files were originally. Restore them to a place on the Server with ArcServe on it (make a temp folder at the root).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17861908 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:00:16 EDT ArcServe 11.1 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17780736 Kilroy : I have to restore a deleted directory and a over written file from older tapes, can anyone point me in the right direction as this abomination don't make it easy to pick out small parts of a backup job.
