On XP and 2003:

Go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NovaStor\NovaBACKUP\Profiles\

 

On Vista , Win7, Win2008:

C:\ProgramData\NovaStor\NovaStor NovaBACKUP\Profiles\

 

Open file nsconfig.ini

 

Find [configuration]

Add this line under [configuration]

Drestore=M:\test

 

'M:\test' is a temp location that all data from tape will be restored so you have to make sure you provide drive letter for hard drive that has plenty of space since it will try to restore all data.

 

nsconfig.ini should look like this (it may not have all items listed):

[autoDevice]

createMediaType=11

createDeviceType=1855

[configuration]

MaxTempFiles=100

MaxLogFiles=100

InitialView=0

drestore=M:\test

[leavefree]

sizeMBSystemDrive=1500

sizeMBTempDirectory=1500

 

Save That file, and start NovaBackup

Go to Restore tab and select Import form disk.

Import will start running direct restore to drive M:\test

 

Once you are done remove "Drestore=M:\test" from INI file and save it.
