5 Restoring Files and Folders
In case of hardware failure or accidental erasure of files, you can use Stac
Replica’s restore files shortcut to mount the appropriate backup tape as a
removable drive, then restore the lost or damaged files by simply copying the
originals to the desired location.
Restoration is a three-step process: mounting the backup tape as a drive, copying
the files to the desired location, then dismounting the tape volume.
The figure below illustrates the procedure for restoring files from a backup tape
mounted as a removable drive.
Mounting a Backup Tape as a Volume
Installed hard drives are
mounted as Drives C and E.
Dismount tape through Replica; tape is no longer visible
as a system volume, instead is visible only to Replica
as backup media.
Replica mounts tape as a system volume that is recognized
as Drive F; while mounted, it’s no longer visible
to Replica as backup media.
Tape is unmounted; visible only to Replica
as backup media.
