Start Restore

When all settings for a backup are completed, the job can be started. A click of "Start Restore" opens the start window. Here a title and password(s) can be entered for the job.
The title is needed to identify the job later on in the JobQueue, Status and Report window. Use a unique title (i.e. "Complete restore of BeOS" or "Restore 'home' folder". The length of the title should not exceed. 60 characters.
Not available in the demo version!
If one or more of the backups that should be restored are protected by password, then all necessary passwords must be entered in the password table. The first column of the table shows the title of the protected backup. In the second column the appropriate password for each backup must be entered.

One more setting in the start window is "Submit Job on hold". This option is for users who want to create more than one job at a time. When the check box is activated, the job is set to the state "Pause" in the job queue right after the job is submitted. That means the job starts only when the user starts the job manualy in the JobQueue Window (by using "Start" or "Continue").
If all settings are completed, the job can be submitted by clicking "Ok". "Cancel" discards the modified settings in the start window and SIEGFRIED BACKUP uses the old settings. The same results when the user closes the window by using the close button or the <ESC> key. If the job is started with "OK", it is submitted to the job queue and set to the "Waiting" state. That means the job is waiting to start. The job starts when the start time and date is reached. The state of the job changes from "Waiting" to "Running" and the restore job is started. For information about the progress of the job, a "Running Job" window is opened. The "Running Job" window shows the number of files to restore, speed, title, etc., for every running job.

The settings of the job, warnings, errors, information messages and all processed files, directories, symlinks and volumes are recorded in the report section of SIEGFRIED BACKUP. If an error occurs during restoration, the reason can be found recorded in the report section. To get the report click on the report button of the tool bar and double click the report title of the job.
If the backup was splitt over more then one removable media (ZIP, MO, streamer cartridge, ...) then SIEGFRIED BACKUP asks for the needed medias. The request window shows the title of the backup and the needed media number. The change requester has three buttons for continuation: Continue: if the media is inserted (and mounted) the job continues working. If a wrong media is inserted, SIEGFRIED BACKUP asks again for the correct media.
Abort: the running job will be aborted. If a repeat interval is set the new start time is calculated and the job is set to the "Waiting" state in the job queue. If no repeat interval is set the job is removed from the job queue. The "Abort" button of the change requester is like the "Abort" button of the JobQueue window.
Delete: the running job will be cancelled. The job is removed from the job queue. The "Delete" button of the change requester is like the "Delete" button of the JobQueue window.
Notice: for image backups there is (currently) no automatic mounting of the inserted media. The user has to mount the media by hand. As an alternative the automount feature of BeOS can be used.
