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.
- Select "Restore My Files" from the "Files" menu on the CAEDM website
- 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.
- Select the files or directories(up to 5) you wish to restore.
- Click "Submit" to begin restoring the files and/or directories.
Backup policy
CAEDM backs up all home spaces and groups every night. CAEDM does not backup group scratch space folders
Using WebRestore
- 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.
