HP Data Protector A.06.11 Support for VMware vStorage

Options for Restore to

directory

File conflict handling

Specifies Data Protector’s behavior if files to be restored already exist in the destination.

Note that if you select Restore to directory, the restore is effectively a filesystem restore and

the following options apply rather than the Virtual machine handling options.

Overwrite (default)

[-overwrite]

Data Protector always overwrites existing files with those

from the backup.

Default: selected

Skip

[-skip]

Data Protector leaves existing files intact. They are not

restored from the backup.

Default: not selected

Keep latest

[-latest]

Data Protector only over-writes existing files if they are older

than the files from the backup.

Default: not selected
