1. Open the DrTool using an administrative command prompt to change the location a stub is to be restored.
   By default the location for the drtools.exe is C:\Program Files\Caringo FileFly\AdminTools\DrTool\

2. Opening the drtool.bat with the -help flag displays all options:
   

3. Specify the -csu flag to change the source location. Use this format: win:\\FQDN\path in FileFly syntax
   

   • Same Server — Moving a stub from a dead disk or to a new, preferred partition on the same server:

     Code Block
     drtool.bat -csu win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/share1/example%20directory%20with%20spaces/ win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/restoredhere/ "C:\drtools\drtool.txt"

   • New Server — Change the FQDN to change the server the stubs are restored to.

     Code Block
     drtool.bat -csu win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/share1/example%20directory%20with%20spaces/ win://fileshare.testdomain.com/E/restoredhere/ "C:\drtools\drtool.txt"

     Info
     title Required
     The server that you are restoring must be a migration agent with connection to Swarm

4. Press return if the path substitutions are correct and the DrTool UI opens.

5. The URI substitutions appear highlighted in blue. Hover over an entry to check the details, and check Show Full URIs to view the paths where the stubs restore to:
   

   

6. Right-click and select Create Stub... to restore the links to the files in the new location if the path looks correct.
   

   

7. Choose the Create Stub Option:

   • Update source URLs in secondary storage files — This default option updates the object in Swarm so the new path is reflected.

   • Force destination to use Write Once Read Many — This excludes the recreated file from scrub policies.

8. Select OK. The stub files are created in the new location and linked to the storage files.

9. Shift-click individual files in the DrTool if a small subset of stubs needs to be re-created; otherwise, run the DrTool.bat command with the -recreateStubs option before the DrTool file.
   Create the stubs automatically without performing steps 6-8:

   Code Block
   language bash
   drtool.bat -csu win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/share1/example%20directory%20with%20spaces/ win://fileshare.testdomain.com/E/restoredhere/ -recreateStubs "C:\drtools\drtool.txt"

   Best practice

   1. Verify the process/path with steps 6-8 for a single file.

   2. Run the DrTool.bat command again with the flag to re-create all stubs once verified.

10. IMPORTANT: Update the Sources tab to reflect this new location if the source location (where your content lives on the migration agent server) changes. The Source is broken (assuming the root folder is deleted when performing step 11) if this is not performed.
    Change the Source from "win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/share1/example%20directory%20with%20spaces/" to "win://fileflyagent.testdomain.com/E/restoredhere/" In the example above.

11. Delete stubs from the original source location if present.
