You can access the Restore option in the left navigation panel of the SANtricity Cloud Connector application. The Restore option displays the Restore page, which allows you to create new image-based or file-based restore jobs.

The SANtricity Cloud Connector uses the concept of jobs to perform the actual restore of an E-Series volume. Before performing a restore, you must identify which E-Series volume will be used for the operation. After you add an E-Series volume for restore to the SANtricity Cloud Connector host, you can use the Restore page of the SANtricity Cloud Connector application to create and process restores.

Note All timestamps for backup and restore jobs listed under the SANtricity Cloud Connector application use local time.
