10.2 Restoring a File Backup

Nero BackItUp can be used to restore a backup. The contents of the file backup are restored

during this process. You can exclude individual files from the restore process or select spe-

cific individual files. In contrast to a drive backup restore process, no programs or 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 se-

lected path, or in a search folder (virtual folder).

In order to restore a file backup, proceed as follows:

1. Click the Restore menu icon.

 The Restore screen appears.

2. Select the desired backup.

 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 back-

up updates) then select the last backup of the backup set.

3. Make the backup available:

1. If the backup is located on a disc, insert the disc in a drive.

2. If the backup has been saved to hard drive, network drive, or removable medium, ensure

that your computer has access to the respective drive.

3. If the backup has been saved as an image file, load the image file, e.g. with Nero Im-

ageDrive.

4. If you want to exclude specific files or folders from the restore, clear the appropriate boxes.

5. Apply filters to the files or remove them as desired.

Files and folders that do not meet the filter criteria are excluded and shown with

a grayed-out check box. The check box cannot be selected. However, individ-

ual files can be re-added with the file search feature.

6. If you want to search for specific files in order to exclude them from or add them to the back-

up, run a file search.
