Restoring Data

To restore data from backup files:

  1. Log in to the server as root.
  2. Issue the command /usr/sbin/trueimage.

    Acronis True Image Server application interface opens.

  3. Click the Recovery icon.
  4. Click Next >.
  5. Select the archive file.
  6. Click Next >.
  7. Specify the directory where you want to restore the data.
  8. Click Next >.
  9. Select files and directories to restore. You can choose to restore all data or browse the archive contents and select the desired directories and files. Click Next >.
  10. Select the options for restoration process (that is, pre/post restoration commands, restoration process priority, and so on). You may use the default options or set the options manually.
  11. Click Next >.
  12. If you do not want to restore files of specific types from the archive, set the filters. You can apply custom filters, using the common masking rules. For example, to exclude all files with extension .tib, add *.tib mask. My???.tib mask will reject all .tib files with names, consisting of five symbols and starting with "my".
  13. Click Next >.
  14. The next selection allows you to keep useful data changes, made since the selected backup. Choose what to do if the program finds in the target directory a file with the same name as in the archive:
  15. At the final step, the restoration summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click < Back to make changes in the created task. Click Proceed to launch the task execution.
  16. The task appears on the Active tasks pane of the main window. The task progress will be shown in the special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel. Please keep in mind that the aborted procedure still may cause changes in the destination directory.
