Customizing data selection and the restore process
The Restore Now Wizard offers two kinds of advanced options.
• Show, Period, and Filter options allow you to narrow down the data that the Restore Now Wizard will display for you to select.
• File Overwrite policies, on the other hand, allow you to define the results you require for the restore. They do not affect the display of data in the Restore Now Wizard but determine how DS‑Client will perform the restore.
– To open the Restore Now Wizard, browse the Backup Sets tree and select the required backup set. Then on the Restore menu, click Restore Now.
– To access advanced options for restore, in the Restore Now Wizard click Advanced.
• To narrow down the data the Restore Now Wizard displays, make selections in the sections Show, Period, and Filter.
Your selections in these sections will immediately determine the data displayed for you to select in the Select directories/files to restore page.
• To customize the results of a restore, select one of the File Overwrite policies.
However, unlike the Show, Period, and Filter options, the File Overwrite policy that you select will not affect the data displayed in the Select directories/files to restore page. Instead, it will determine how DS-Client performs the restore after you have finished with the Restore Now Wizard.
For information, see the F1 help for the Advanced Options dialog box.
