A DrTool file taken from a destination rather than a source has a few key differences:
- It is not restricted to a particular set of folders or paths.
- It is not restricted to a particular set of servers.
The DrTool file taken from a destination displays everything FileFly is currently aware of in a destination domain.
Usage
Usually these files are used for wide-scale recovery or point-in-time recovery of a few files.
To create a DrTool file from destination
- In the Admin Portal, go to Policies and create a new policy.
- Fill out the name, select the Create DrTool File From Destination, and set the destination Root:
- To implement the policy, create a Task to run it.
- Run the task, then open the output file either from the DrTool UI or run it from the command line.
- The DrTool allows you to Filter the result sets for files between certain dates, which is very helpful for point-in-time recoveries. You can also click Analyze to filter by server and/or file type:
Note
- When using the DrTool file from destination and updating paths using either the -cmu or -csu options, only the matching paths are modified.
- Only the most recent migrations are viewed within the DrTool application, so a point-in-time recovery requires filtering by date.
