Let’s have a look at how to restore files and folder Backup Exec. You can search the catalog to simply find files that you wish to restore, or you can make sure that you have backups of certain files. This feature also enables you to view all cataloged, backed-up versions of a file or folder, so you can restore previous versions if you want to. You can also use this catalog feature to make sure that you have various copies of a file. Then, you can delete the file by running a full backup job that uses the method to back up and remove the files.
If you know which backup set, finished backup job, or storage device media includes the data that you want to restore, you can run the Restore Wizard from there. Alternatively, you can choose a server and then start the Restore Wizard.
