Comparing Data

You can compare files that have been backed up against the original

versions to ensure that the backup file contains the versions of the

data that you require.

To compare backed-up data against the original data, do this:

1. Click or use the View > Compare command to open the

comparison procedure. The Select Source option opens by

default.

2. Select the source of the backed-up data from the Compare from

drop-down box.

• Backup file: Compare data in a backup file against the

original data. To open a backup file, click Browse, then locate

and open the file you want to use.

• My Catalog: Compare data in the record of a previous

backup job against the original data. (To delete records from

My Catalog, use the Edit > Delete Catalog Record or Delete

All Catalog Records command.)

• Disc drive: Compare data on a disc against the original data.

3. Click Select Location of Data, then select the location of the

original data to be used in the comparison.

• Original location: Selects the original location of the data.

• Alternative location: Selects a new location of the data. (You

may need to use this option if you have moved the folder or

restructured your hard drive). To set a new directory, click

Browse, then locate and select the folder you want to use.

4. Verify that the settings are correct, then click Compare Now to

begin the comparison immediately.

After the comparison is completed, you can view the comparison

report by clicking Report....
