10.2 Restoring a file backup
Nero BackItUp can be used to restore files that you have saved on your computer. You can
select individual files to restore. In contrast to restoring a drive backup, no applications and
operating systems can be restored.
Search folders are supported both for backup and restore under the Windows Vista
®
operating system. This means that you can back up search queries, paths, and the original
documents. Restore is possible to the original path, a selected path, or in a search folder
(virtual folder).
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Click the Restore menu icon.
Æ The Restore screen appears.
You can also start the restore via the wizard. To do this click the Wizards menu icon
followed by Restore Backup or the Wizards button followed by Restore.
2. Select a backup.
Æ The files and folders of the backup are displayed in the view area.
If you want to restore a full backup set (full first backup, plus one or more backup updates)
then select the last backup of the backup set.
Files and folders that are part of the backup but that do not meet the filter criteria will be
displayed with a grayed out check box in the standard view and in the selected file view.
3. Make the backup available:
If the backup has been burned to a disc, insert the disc in a drive.
If the backup has been saved to hard drive, network drive, or removable medium, ensure
that your computer has access to the respective drive.
If the backup has been saved as an image file, load the image file, e.g. with Nero
ImageDrive.
4. If you want to exclude specific files or folders from the restore, clear the appropriate boxes.
5. pply filters to the files or remove them as desired (see FiltersA ).
