Restore
The Restore feature allows you to restore the files and subdirectories in your
home directory from a .tgz backup file. For more information, see “Backup” on
page 51.
Performing a restore
The amount of time required for a restore operation depends on two factors:
• the speed of the connection between the RaQ XTR server and the local
computer on which the backup archive file resides
• the size of the backup archive file (a larger file takes longer to upload to the
user’s home directory and longer to process on the RaQ XTR server)
!
Caution: The system does not merge the current data and
backed-up data. When data is restored, any changes made to files in
your home directory since the last backup are lost.
!
Caution: Be careful not to interrupt the restore operation as data
could be corrupted.
✍
Note: It may be more convenient to upload backup archive files to
your home directory using an FTP-based application than to upload
them through the browser interface.
