Redirect


With SIEGFRIED BACKUP it's possible to redirect some or all of the entries during the restore process. That means, directories, files and symlinks aren't restored to the original path, but in the redirect path. SIEGFRIED BACKUP not only accepts one redirection per restore job, rather it's possible to create an individual redirection for each entry.

The redirection of files is very important for inserting backups completed on other computers. In most cases different drive and directory names are necessary when inserting a backup from another computer. The path of the redirection is visible in the "Redirect" column of the file selection area. The absence of an entry in this column means that no redirection has been set.

Redirections can only be set for marked entries in the file selection area. Removal of a selection or entry automatically removes an existing redirection.
