Suspending and Resuming a Restore Job

A NetBackup administrator can choose to suspend a checkpointed restore job and resume the job at a later time.

For example, while running a restore job for several hours, the administrator may receive a request for a second restore of a higher priority that requires the resources being used by the first job. The administrator can suspend the first job, start the second restore job and let it complete. Then, resume the first job from the Activity Monitor and let the job complete.

Note If a checkpointed restore that has no end date is suspended, then resumed, and a new backup occurred prior to initiating the resume, the files from that new backup will be included in the restore.
For example, a user makes a restore request of a directory, then that restore is suspended. The request is resumed the next day, after another backup of the directory has been performed. The files that are restored are from the latest backup.

For more on suspending restore jobs and resuming incomplete jobs, see Menu Bar.
