Using the OS/2 Lotus Notes Backup Agent

Restoring Selected Documents from a Database

You can restore backed up copies of individual documents from the ADSM server to a Lotus Notes database by residing on your workstation or on a Lotus Notes server. The documents must still be present in the database. If the documents have been deleted, see "Restoring Deleted Documents".

This operation is only available in the Lotus Notes workspace.
