How to get here in the GigaVaultStorage Web Console?
  In the top menu, select: "Restore-> Disaster Recovery"

Why is this feature necessary?
In GigaVaultStorage, without the backup schedule configurations, backed up data cannot be restored. So this page helps you in restoring the backup schedule configurations first. The backed up data can be restored from the List of Backup For Restore page.

When is this feature relevant?
Typically, if GigaVaultStorage needs to be installed afresh in a machine because of a computer crash or other reasons (old computer stolen, etc).
Once the backup schedules are restored, the List Backup Schedules page will show the backup schedules in a suspended mode. Using the reinstalled configuration, any lost data can first be restored (from the List of Backup for Restore page). Thereafter, the backup schedules can be resumed manually, if required.

The following describes the user input for this page:

Client Name - This is a non-editable field displaying the current GigaVaultStorage client for which the configurations have to be restored.

Choose Server Name - Choose the backup server name from which configurations have to be restored and press the Add button to be added to the "Added Server List".

Enter Server Name - This is an optional field. If the backup server from which the configurations have to be restored is not present in the "Choose Server Name" above, you can manually enter the backup server name here and then press the Add button to be added to the "Added Server List".

Restore Button - Once the server names chosen are added to the list, click the "Restore" Button. This will initiate the process of getting the client backup configurations from all the servers chosen.

Clear Button - It will reset all the fields to their original values.

Limitations - To restore the client configurations, you will necessarily need to know the servers on to which the backups were originally done. GigaVaultStorage does not discover this information automatically.
