OpenDirect Restore Requirements
Please ensure that the following requirements are met for OpenDirect Restore to use:
- OpenDirect restore is only supported on File backup sets created and backed up using %edition_name% v7.13.0.0 or above on Windows platform with OpenDirect feature enabled.
- OpenDirect restore is only supported on File backup sets created and backed up using %edition_name% v3.1.0.0 or above on Windows platform with OpenDirect feature enabled.
- OpenDirect restore add-on module is required per File backup set for this feature to work. Contact your backup service provider for more details.
- Both compression and encryption are not enabled for OpenDirect File backup sets, to optimize restore performance the storage quota required will be higher than non-OpenDirect backup sets. Contact your backup service provider for details.
- Temporary Directory Folder should have at least the same available size as the image or compressed file to be restored.
- One spare drive letter must be available for the OpenDirect restore process as the image or compressed file is mounted on Windows as a logical drive by %edition_name% and it will automatically take the next available drive letter in alphabetical order for the mounted volume. (Drive letters A, B, and C will not be used.)
- Recommended minimum network speed is at least 100Mbits download speed per second. Network bandwidth should be increased in proportion to the delta chain to ensure optimal performance. Working with limited network bandwidth may severely affect the OpenDirect restore performance.
You can use an online speed connection testing site (e.g. http://www.speedtest.net) to test your connection speed.
- The following dependencies are restore related and therefore they will be checked by %edition_name% only when an OpenDirect restore is performed. Absence of these elements will not affect the backup job but would cause the restore to fail.
- The Windows login account used for installation and operation of the %edition_name% client machine requires Administrator privileges
