Restoring writers data
You can restore the Data Protector Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service integration
backup objects using the Data Protector GUI.
NOTE:
Data Protector first restores the Writer Metadata collected during the backup time. This
metadata contains the information about the backup components and the restore method.
Data Protector performs restore according to the restore method specified by the writers.
Limitations for custom restore
• Data Protector Microsoft VSS integration does not automatically provide any
restore method for writers requesting custom restore. If a writer specifies custom
restore method, it is only possible to restore the writer's data as plain files using
the Data Protector file restore functionality. You can use the Restore Into
option to specify an alternate restore path for these plain files. You can then
perform the custom restore from these plain files manually. For information on
writer’s custom restore, refer to the writers documentation.
