To restore (recover) backed up files/directories/dataVolumes:

1. Access the NwRecover application in the same way as the NWAdmin application was accessed. Refer to Accessing NetWorker in Networker Installation and Configuration.

The NwRecover dialog window is now displayed.

2. Choose the items for recovery, then select the white square and double click to mark it or choose Mark from the menu bar. The Selection text field displays the selected path.

Note: Marking a data volume or directory marks all files below it. This is not recommended due to hidden files such as .rsrc, .def, .rfs. Only folders within main dataVolumes or Jobs folders should be marked.

3. Select Start to execute the recover process.

4. When Start is selected the Conflict Resolution dialog window opens.

5. Leave the default settings or change them as required and select OK to proceed.

1. To change the items for recovery to an earlier version, for example, choose Change -> Browse Time from the menu bar.

This will restore a Full True Image resembling the specific time selected.

2. Select the date required from the calendar and select OK.

This may be needed if original dataVolumes do not have enough capacity for recovery.

1. To change the destination for the recovered items, choose Options -> Relocate from the menu bar.
2. Type in the new destination in the text field and select OK.

Note: Recovery of entire dataVolumes level is not recommended.

1. The following icon marks file systems. Select the file system for recovery.

2. Select Start to execute the recover process.

Macintosh files can be recovered by recovering both the file and its resource file (.rsrc).

1. Expand the dataVolume until you reach the level where the specific file is displayed.
2. Select the file and open the .rsrc directory on the same level.
   Select the file of the same name under the .rsrc directory.

3. To change the destination for the recovered files, choose Options-> Relocate from the menu bar.
4. Type in a new temporary destination to a different path or a different data volume in the text field and select OK.
5. Select Start to execute the recover process.

Whisper files can be recovered as complete jobs (.j) or pages (.p), or as individual files (CT, LW).

1. To recover Whisper jobs, open /dataVolumes/ripro1.1.0/jobs and select those jobs which have .j as a suffix.
2. To recover Whisper pages, open a job and select pages under the job which have .p as a suffix.
3. To recover whisper files, open the page and select items that have CT or LW as a suffix.

4. Select Start to execute the recover process.

When selecting individual files, either CT or LW as defined in the .rfs file and in order to retain the links between the files on a page after recovery, a new page layout must be performed (reset page) on the Whisper.
