I was able top back up some long path files, but I’m having trouble getting them to restore. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

It is recommended to perform Restore by Jobs to restore entire data backed up in a backup job including files with long path. Alternatively, you can navigate to the specific directory containing files with long path and do a restore.

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers | <Client> | File System.

2. Right-click the <Backup Set> and select All Tasks | Restore by Jobs.

3. Enter the Start Time and End Time and click OK. The list of backup jobs, completed in the specified time period is displayed.

4. Right click the job you wish to restore and select Restore Selected Jobs.

5. Click OK.

Use the following steps to restore files with long path:

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers | <Client> | File System.

2. Right-click the <Backup Set> and then click All Tasks|Browse and Restore.

3. Click View Content.

4. Select the directory containing files with long path and click Recover All Selected.

5. Clear the Restore to same folder check box.

6. Select the destination client computer name from the Destination Client list.

7. Click Browse to navigate to the destination path.

8. Click OK.
