I should know this...

Hello All. First time poster so I apologize in advance. We just implemented our ARX500 solution and I'm starting on place rules. Where would I have our backup and restore guy restore files to? The Original File location or the ARX Proxied location?

    Hi Dave,

     

     

    You'll want your backup guy to restore the files through the ARX so that the metadata can be updated. If he updates directly to the origin server, the ARX won't know the file exists or has changed. Hope this helps,

    Thanks George.

     

     

    "Through the ARX" indicates the new proxied location and not the filer right? Is this where the meta skewing would happen?
