Restoring only modified files
You can specifically restore modified files, which can be either of the following:
• Files that do not currently exist on the backup source
• Files that differ from the version on the backup source
The Restore Now Wizard has a Show Modified feature to help locate these files. Once found, you can use the Add Modified option to select these files for restore. DS-Client locates modified files by searching through the backup source and comparing its results with details of the backup set in the DS-Client database.
• 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 locate and add modified files for restore:
1. On the
Select directories/files to restore page, select a directory, and then click
Show Files. Modify the
Filter if necessary (
page 116).
Only files that match the Filter are displayed in the Files List.
2. To locate modified files, click Show Modified.
Modified files that DS-Client has located are highlighted in Files List.
3. To select the modified file(s) and include them for restore, click Add Modified while they are highlighted.
