If you want the computer to reboot automatically when it is required for recovery, select the Restart
the computer automatically if needed for the recovery check box. This may be used when a
partition locked by the operating system has to be recovered.
5.5.5 File recovery options
Location: Recovery options > Advanced > File recovery options
You can select the following file recovery options:
 Recover files with their original security settings - if the file security settings were preserved
during backup (see File-level security settings for backup (p. 68)), you can choose whether to
recover them or let the files inherit the security settings of the folder where they will be
recovered to. This option is effective only when recovering files from file/folder backups.
 Set current date and time for recovered files - you can choose whether to recover the file date
and time from the backup or assign the files the current date and time. By default the file date
and time from the backup will be assigned.
5.5.6 Overwrite file options
Location: Recovery options > Advanced > Overwrite file options
Choose what to do if the program finds a file in the target folder with the same name as in the
backup.
This option is available only while restoring files and folders (not disks and partitions).
Select the Overwrite existing files check box if you want to overwrite the files on the hard disk with
the files from the backup. If the check box is cleared, the more recent files and folders will be kept on
the disk.
If you do not need to overwrite some files:
 Select the Hidden files and folders check box to turn off overwriting of all hidden files and
folders. This option is available for file-level backups to local destinations and network shares.
 Select the System files and folders check box to turn off overwriting of all system files and
folders. This option is available for file-level backups to local destinations and network shares.
 Select the More recent files and folders check box to turn off overwriting of new files and
folders.
 Click Add specific files and folders to manage the list of custom files and folders that you do not
want to overwrite. This option is available for file-level backups to local destinations and network
shares.
 To turn off overwriting of specific files, click the plus sign to create an exclusion criterion.
 While specifying the criteria, you can use the common Windows wildcard characters. For
example, to preserve all files with extension .exe, you can add *.exe. Adding My???.exe will
preserve all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”.
To delete a criterion, select it in the list, and then click the minus sign.
