Using the OS/2 Lotus Notes Backup Agent

Restoring Deleted Documents

You can restore deleted Lotus Notes documents from ADSM storage, if the deletion stubs have not been purged from the database. The deleted documents are replaced with documents that are backed up on the ADSM server.

For more information about restoring deleted documents, see the dsmnotes restdel command ("dsmnotes restdel").

6. If you want to restore only those documents deleted less than a certain number of days ago, type this number of days in the Restore all documents deleted less than nnnn days ago field.

   If you leave this field blank, it uses the zero default. Then all the deleted, but not yet purged, documents are restored.

7. Select Wait for tape mounting if necessary (selected as the default). You can deselect this option if you do not want ADSM to wait for files that are on tape.

8. Click on Restore or press Enter to restore your documents.

9. To see the restored documents, click on the View menu and select Refresh or press F9.

Click on the Cancel button at any time to exit the dialog box without restoring any documents.
