Inconvenience selecting files for restore
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 2 comments
I have a big probelm! I got a request to restore some files from a particular folder. I happily browsed to to the folder which has about 7000 files totalling just under 60 GB. I wanted to restore files from a range of dates with about 1200 files. There is no way on the NBU console to select a range of files, the options are Mark Displayed files, Unmark Displayed files or Unmark all. I cannot imagine clicking 1200 times to do the required selection and neither can I restore everything because the server has 50 GB free space! Can the Symantec guys do something about it before I go crazy!

It's up to you
My friend,
You need to look at using the command line restore called bprestore.
It may be difficult at first but you will like it once you see how easy it is to do a restore.
The syntax is explained in the man page for the command.
