Advanced Options
Use this dialog box to narrow down your selection in a Restore Wizard or in a Request Wizard. The Wizard will show only directories that meet these conditions.
Notes:
Restore Wizard includes regular on-demand restores, BLM Image Restores, and Disc/Tape Restores.
Request Wizard includes BLM Requests, and Disc/Tape Requests.
 
Show section
Latest generation of all data
Shows all data stored online. (Note that the Filter section is empty.)
Latest generation of all data (except deleted data)
Filters out files that were deleted from the source, but not removed from the online storage as of the last backup session. (You probably do not need this 'expired' data.) (Note that the Filter section has the date of the latest backup session.)
Selective data
(from a certain period)
Allows you to specify the period from which you would like to restore. (Note that this activates the Restore Period and Filter sections.)
Period section
This section is only active if the “Selective data (from a certain period)” radio button is selected.
This will narrow the display of files for restore to only those files/directories that were backed up within the specified period.
From
Click [>>] to select the earliest time.
This opens the "Select a Backup Session" dialog box.
To
Click [>>] to select the latest time.
This opens the "Select a Backup Session" dialog box.
Filter section
This section appears if the Restore Wizard or Request Wizard can use the DS-Client database to perform the filtering. It does not appear for BLM Image Restore or Disc/Tape Restore since they have been written to media and are no longer synchronized with the DS-Client database.
Show all data
No filter is applied.
Hide data (dirs / files) deleted from source on / before:
This filter allows you to hide backed up data (directories and files) that was intentionally deleted from the source computer.
Select a date and time in this box to filter out backed up data that was not scanned by the DS-Client since the filter date. This prevents you from restoring directories and files that were intentionally deleted.
Show only data (dirs / files) deleted from source on / before:
The inverse of the previous ‘hide data’ option (above).
This allows you to view and restore only those directories / files that were intentionally deleted from the source computer.
File overwrite section
[Restore Wizard only]
This section allows you to control the types of files that are restored to minimize restore times.
Restore all
Restores all selected files to the destination directory. Any files of the same name will be overwritten.
Restore newer
Restores only with files that have newer dates than those in the destination directory.
Restore older
Restores only with files that have older dates than those in the destination directory.
Restore different
Restores only with files that have different dates/sizes than those in the destination directory.
Skip existing
Does not restore any existing files of the same name in the destination directory.
