# HostDetails

Whether the restoration must use a directory based on a specific `host` and `port` combination.

When you use DREBACKUP you can set `HostDetails` to `true` to write the backup to a sub-directory named with the host and ACI port of the server. You can then restore these backups using a DREINITIAL action with `HostDetails` set to `true`. This allows you to restore a series of child servers under a Distributed Index Handler (DIH) from their own backup.

For example:

If the backup is sent to a DIH on the `localhost` using the following index action:

    http://localhost:12611/DREBACKUP?X:\backup\&HostDetails=true

Then each of the DIH child servers write backups to the following directories:

    X:\backup\serverhostN-serverACIPORTN

Where `serverhostN` is the host name for child server `N`, and where `serverACIPORTN` is its ACI port. To restore the child servers using this backup, you then use the following index action:

    http://localhost:12611/DREINITIAL?X:\backup\&HostDetails=true

Each child server then restores from its own backup.
