6.4 Setting restore options

To view or edit the default restore options, select Tools -> Options -> Default

Restoration Options from the main program menu.

You can edit the default (or set the temporary) restore options while creating a restore task

as well.

6.4.1 Files to exclude from restoration

The preset is Restore all files.

You can set the default filters for the specific types of files that are not to be restored. Use

the common Windows masking rules. For example, to exclude all files with extension .exe,

add *.exe mask. My???.exe mask will reject all .exe files with names, consisting of five

symbols and starting with “my”.

This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives. When restoring

files from a disk/partition image, you cannot filter out any files.

6.4.2 Files overwriting mode

This option allows you to keep useful data changes made since the backup being restored

was done. Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same

name as in the archive.

Overwrite existing file – this will give the archived file unconditional priority over the file

on the hard disk.

Overwrite existing file if it is older – this will give the priority to the most recent file

modification, whether it be in the archive or on the disk.

Do not overwrite existing file – this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional

priority over the archived file.

This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives.

restore procedure. Click Edit to open the Edit Command window where you can easily
