Restore Backup Plan
In certain disaster recovery or data migration scenarios, you may need to restore backup plan to the same or a different computer.
As of Management Console 8.5, you have the ability to restore deleted backup plans or duplicating the existing ones on the same computer by creating a copy. This feature helps you to restore a backup plan in the new backup format as a copy on the computer where this backup plan was created.
This feature is supported for the new backup format only and requires Backup Agent 8.1.3 for Windows on the computer, where you want to restore the backup plan. The following options are available depending on the selected computer:
- Restore backup plan from another computer to the local computer. This method is intended to continue backup on a new computer.
- Restore backup plan to the local computer. This method is intended to restore deleted backup plan or to create a copy of the existing backup plan without a schedule.
