DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Backup Set Recovery
 
Backup Set Recovery
This dialog box allows you to recover backup sets to the DS-Client database in the event they become 'orphaned' on the DS-System.
For example: If your DS-Client was destroyed, you would have to reinstall the software to a new computer. The replacement DS-Client database will be empty of backup sets, but the DS-System will still have all your backup data.
At minimum, you must restore these backup set configurations by using this dialog box. (For DS-Clients with several backup sets it is much faster to use the DS-Client Database Recovery feature that will also recover all of the DS-Client's logs up to the last backup time of the database.)
 
Backup Set Tree
Shows any backup sets that can be “recovered”. In some cases, the backup sets will be recovered with default information (which you must correct). The name of the owner of the backup set can appear in different colors:
• Black - You can recover the set, then perform restores immediately.
• Red - You can recover the set, but afterwards you must migrate the backup set to specify the Network Provider or Computer information. (See "Migrate Shares".)
• Gray - You must resolve an ambiguity concerning the owner's user name or the Network Provider name prior to Recovering the backup set. Click Set Info to open the Recovery Info dialog box.

Notes
1
Select the Activity Log to look for errors such as “Backup Set not found in Backup Log”. This indicates the backup set exists on the DS-System's online storage, but not in the DS-Client's database.
2
The Activity Log will be updated with Recovery information (if applicable) each time a Daily or Weekly Admin is run.
3
A synchronization is run on each recovered backup set.
