Select this menu choice when you want to restore files. The menu choices allow you to search through all your backed up files and select files to restore. You can also specify a location to redirect your files, in case you want to put them somewhere other than where they came from when they were backed up.
This is the main Restore screen. The left pane contains the file selection criteria. The right pane contains the files you have found in the search. Select files to restore in the right pane. The bottom pane shows the progress and results of your restore operation.
Search for Files to Restore
Enter any part of the file name or folder name to search for files, or leave this as *.* to search through all files.
Select which backup set to search though, or select All backup sets.
Date
SearchSelect On Date, Before Date, After Date, Between Dates, or All.
On Date: Selects files backed up on a date.
Before Date: Selects files backed up before a date.
After Date: Selects files backed up after a date.
Between Dates: Selects files backed up between two dates.
Select the date from a drop-down calendar to use in the search. If you select Between Dates, there will be two Date fields. Note: The calendars will only let you select dates for files that have been backed up.
When you have entered your search criteria, press the Search button. The files found in your search will appear in the right pane. You may now enter other search criteria to find more files, which will be added to the right pane.
To clear your search and start over again, press the Clear Search button.
After you have searched for your files, and have selected the ones you want to restore by checkmarking them in the right pane, press the Start Restore button to begin the restoration.
In the left pane, near the bottom, the current Restore Location is listed. The default is Original Location so the restored files will be placed in the same locations from which they were backed up. To restore to a different location, select the Change Location button to select another location.
Remote Backup will create the original folder structure at the new location and restore your files there.
This screen displays if you have selected to restore files to their original location (which is the default) and asks if you want to redirect the restored files to another location. If you want to over-write your current files in their original locations, answer NO to this prompt. Otherwise, answer YES, and the software will allow you to select another location for the restored files.
During the restore process you will see this progress screen in the bottom pane.
