Processes to start (Disk media only) | The number of threads you want to use to write data to the buffer. You can select from 1 to 99 threads (the default is 3). All threads execute parallel to shorten the generation time. |
Path | The path on the DS-System where disc / tape files will be written. • Type in the path or click [...] to browse for a directory. |
Restore Reason | You must supply a reason for this restore request by selecting one from the drop-down list. |
Restore Classification This section only appears if this backup set is currently in a scheduled “Recovery Drill” period. • For more information see “DR Drill requests”. • Once you successfully write the Disc/Tape files to buffer, the DR Drill capacity that was used is immediately deducted from the quota for this DR Drill Request. | |
Real production recovery, resulting from data loss | This performs a normal restore. |
Stop DR Drill restore if DR Drill capacity is fully used | This performs a restore that counts as a DR Drill for billing purposes. You will see fields with the DR Drill capacity that has been allocated and used. During the restore, if all the DR Drill capacity is used up, the restore will stop. |
Augment with production recovery capacity if DR Drill is fully used | This performs a restore that counts as a DR Drill for billing purposes. During the restore, if all the DR Drill capacity is used up, the restore will continue, but the balance of the restore capacity will count as a real production recovery for billing purposes. |
