Restoring Data
The second half of the backup equation consists of restoring your
data to a usable state. The data restoration process uses the file
created during the backup process (i.e.: the “backup file”) to put all of
your backed up data back into a specified location for your use.
To restore your data after a backup, do this:
1. Click or use the View > Restore command to open the
restoration procedure. The Select Source option opens by
default.
2. Select the restoration source from the Restore from drop-down
box.
• Backup file: Restore from an existing backup file. To open a
backup file, click Browse, then locate and open the file you
want to use.
• My Catalog: Restore from existing records of previous
backup jobs. (To delete records from My Catalog, use the Edit
> Delete Catalog Record or Delete All Catalog Records
command.)
• Disc drive: Restore from a disc.
3. Click Select Destination, then set your restoration destination.
• Original location: Restore to the original location from which
the files were backed up.
• Alternative location: Restore to a new location. To set a new
directory, click Browse, then locate and select the folder you
want to use.
• Single directory: Restore all of the backed up files to a single
new directory. To set a new directory, click Browse, then
locate and select the folder you want to use.
Note: Your data’s original directory structure will be lost if you
restore to a single directory.
4. Click Select Method, then choose the restoration method you
want to use.
• Do not overwrite: Restores only files that are not found on
your hard drive, and does not overwrite existing files.
