Today's Tips 06/30/2006
To Set Advanced Restore Options In Windows XP!
1. Open Backup.
The Backup Utility Wizard starts by default, unless it is disabled.
2. Click the Advanced Mode button in the Backup Utility Wizard.
3. Click the Restore and Manage Media menu and select the files to
restore.
4. Click the Start Restore button.
5. On the Confirm Restore dialog box, click Advanced.
6. Set the advanced restore options you want, and then click OK. See the
Notes section for a description of each option.
Side Notes!
- To start Backup, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories,
point to System Tools, and then click Backup.
- Selecting Restore security will restore security settings for each
file and folder. Security settings include permissions, audit entries,
and ownership. This option is available only if you have backed up data
from an NTFS volume used in Windows XP and you are restoring it to an
NTFS volume used in Windows XP.
- Selecting Restore Removable Storage database will restore the
Removable Storage database. If you are not using Removable Storage to
manage storage media, you do not need to select this option. Also, this
will delete your existing Removable Storage database.
- Selecting Restore junction points, and restore file and folder data
under junction points to the original location restores junction points
on your hard disk as well as the data that the junction points point to.
If you do not select this check box, the junction points will be
restored as common directories and the data your junction points point
to will not be accessible. Also, if you are restoring a mounted drive,
and you want to restore the data that is on the mounted drive, you must
select this check box. If you do not select this check box, you will
only restore the folder containing the mounted drive.
- Selecting When restoring replicated data sets, mark the restored data
as the primary data for all replicas ensures that restored File
Replication service (FRS) data is replicated to your other servers. If
you are restoring FRS data, you should choose this option. If you do not
choose this option, the FRS data that you are restoring may not be
replicated to other servers because the restored data will appear to be
older than the data already on the servers. This will cause the other
servers to overwrite the restored data, thereby preventing you from
restoring the FRS data.
- Selecting Restore the Cluster Registry to the quorum disk and all
other nodes will ensure that the cluster quorum database is restored and
replicated on all nodes in a server cluster. If you select this option,
Backup will stop the Cluster service on all other nodes of the server
cluster after the node that was restored reboots.
- Selecting Preserve existing volume mount points will prevent the
restore operation from writing over any volume mount points you have
created on the partition or volume you are restoring data to. This
option is primarily applicable when you are restoring data to an entire
drive or partition. For example, if you are restoring data to a
replacement drive, and you have partitioned and formatted the drive and
restored volume mount points, you should select this option so your
volume mount points are not restored. If you are restoring data to a
partition or drive that you have just reformatted, and you want to
restore the old volume mount points, you should not select this option.

To Set All The
Backup Options In Windows XP!
When Using the Windows interface.
1. Open Backup.
The Backup Utility Wizard starts by default, unless it is disabled.
2. Click the Advanced Mode button in the Backup Utility Wizard.
3. Click the Tools menu, then click Options.
4. On the General tab, set the options you want.
Side Notes:
- To start Backup, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point
to System Tools, and then click Backup.
- Selecting Compute selection information before backup and restore operations
estimates the number of files and bytes that will be backed up or restored
during the current backup or restore operation. This information will be
calculated and displayed before the backup or restore begins.
- Selecting Use the catalogs on the media to speed up building restore catalogs
on disk indicates that you want to use the on-media catalog to build the on-disk
catalog for restore selections. This is the fastest way to build an on-disk
catalog. However, if you want to restore data from several tapes, and the tape
with the on-media catalog is missing, or you want to restore data from media
that is damaged, you should not select this option. Backup will then scan your
entire backup set (or as much of it as you have), and build an on-disk catalog.
This could take several hours if your backup set is very large.
- Selecting Verify data after the backup completes checks the backed-up data and
the original data on your hard disk to be sure that the data is the same. Some
files in use may cause verification errors, but you can generally ignore these
errors. If there are a significant number of verification errors, there may be a
problem with the media or the file you are using to back up data.
If this occurs, you should use different media or
designate another file, and you should run the backup operation again.
- Selecting Back up the contents of mounted drives backs up the data that is on
a mounted drive. If you select this option, and you back up a mounted drive, the
data that is on the mounted drive will be backed up. If you do not select this
option, and you back up a mounted drive, only the path information for the
mounted drive will be backed up.
- Selecting Show alert message when I start Backup and Removable Storage is not
running displays a dialog box when you start Backup and Removable Storage is not
running. Backup will then start Removable Storage automatically. If you
primarily back up data to a file, and you save the file to a floppy disk, a hard
disk, or any type of removable disk, you do not need to select this box. If you
primarily back up data to a tape, or other media that is managed by Removable
Storage, you should select this box.
- Selecting Show alert message when I start Backup and there is compatible
import media available displays a dialog box when you start Backup and there is
new media available in the Import media pool. If you primarily back up data to a
file, and you save the file to a floppy disk, a hard disk, or any type of
removable disk, you do not need to select this box. If you primarily back up
data to a tape, or other media that is managed by Removable Storage, you should
select this box.
- Selecting Show alert message when new media is inserted into Removable Storage
displays a dialog box when new media is detected by Removable Storage. If you
primarily back up data to a file, and you save the file to a floppy disk, a hard
disk, or any type of removable disk, you do not need to select this box. If you
primarily back up data to a tape, or other media that is managed by Removable
Storage, you should select this box.
- Selecting Always move new import media to Backup pools automatically moves new
media that is detected by Removable Storage to the Backup media pool. If you
primarily back up data to a file, and you save the file to a floppy disk, a hard
disk, or any type of removable disk, you do not need to select this box. If you
you want all new media to be available to the Backup program only, and no one is
using Removable Storage to manage new media, you should select this box.
