This wizard is displayed when you restore a file system snapshot from a repository store.
CAUTION:
Be careful when restoring data to a location that is in the scope of one or more Ops Center Protector policies. The restored data will not be incorporated by Ops Center Protector into its data flows until after a resynchronization has occurred and synchronization errors for the restored data can be logged until that point. Perform a manual resynchronization to correct the inconsistent state.
Note: The following data restoration limitations apply:
- Because of issues with translating security streams, data originating from Linux machines cannot be restored to Windows machines and vice versa. Data can only be restored to compatible OS types.
