Notes

  • Direct file-level recovery from tape is not available. File-level recovery point(s) stored on tape(s) will first be recovered to a backup repository and then to the target destination.

  • The recovered volumes are treated as folders: the unsupported ":" and "\" characters are replaced with "_".

  • File/ folder permissions and attributes are not preserved during recovery.
