The standard query restore process is also known as classic
restore. This topic explains how standard query restore works.
Here is how standard query restore works:
- The client queries the server for a list of files backed up for
the client file space you want to restore.
- The server sends a list of backed up files that match the restore
criteria. If you want to restore both active and inactive files, the
server sends information about all backed up files to the client.
- The list of files returned from the server is sorted in client
memory to determine the file restore order and to minimize tape mounts
required to perform the restore.
- The client tells the server to restore file data and directory
objects.
- The directories and files you want to restore are sent from the
server to the client.
