Use WebRestore to bring back lost or corrupted files on a J Drive or Group Filespace.

Lost that important file? Chances are we have a backup!

The CAEDM WebRestore client is used for restoring files from the tape library system. You may restore files from your home directory or from group directories of which you are a member.

1. Log into the CAEDM Account Manager.
2. Click on the "Restore Files" link in the left column.
3. Select the location of your files.
   • "Home Directory" for your own files, or the specific group directory for group files.
   • It may take 2-3 minutes for the WebRestore system to load the list of files in the backup.
4. Select the files or directories(up to 5) you wish to restore.
5. Click "Submit" to begin restoring the files and/or directories.

Notes

• WebRestore will take about an hour to restore your files. You will recieve an email notification once the files have been restored.

• There is currently a maximum of 5 files/directories, or 4GB which may be downloaded during a restore session.

• Your files will be restored to your J:/ Drive or group space in a folder named Caedm_Restored_Files.

• Each file has a few attributes.
  • 'A' stands for an active file. This means that it is the most recent backup copy.
  • 'I' stands for inactive. When an active copy is changed, then it is backed up, the active copy becomes an inactive copy and a new active copy is created.
  • Each file has a time and date associated with the file, a time and date that indicate when the file was last backed up to the tape library server.

• If you have any more questions, please contact an administrator.
