partition to another location, select the new location and set the partition type you need (or

leave the default setting). When the new location is an existing partition, usually you may leave

its disk letter and size unchanged. When the new location is unallocated space e.g. after installing

a new hard drive you intend to use for your data, specify the size of the new partition and assign

a logical disk letter.

6. Carefully read the Summary. After making sure that you have made the correct settings, click

Proceed, if you do not need to change the default recovery options, otherwise click Options.

7. The Options step allows setting the recovery options, for example, to check the file system after

recovery. For more information about the recovery options see Setting default recovery options

(p. 90). After setting the recovery options click Proceed.

Recovering the entire data disk backup requires similar steps with few minor differences, for

example, there is no "Check file system after recovery" option. When recovering to the original hard

drive the steps of the Recovery Wizard are straightforward - just make sure that you select the disk

with the same number as the backed up disk, as the destination.

Recovering your data disk backup to a hard drive with a different capacity has some nuances

depending on its capacity and geometry (the number of heads and sectors per track). When

recovering to a smaller capacity hard drive, the partition(s) size will be proportionally reduced. When

recovering to a larger capacity hard drive, there are two cases: 1) if the hard drive has the same

geometry, the backed up disk will be recovered "as is" thus leaving unallocated space; and 2) if the

hard drive has different geometry, the partition(s) size will be proportionally enlarged.

9.4. Recovering files and folders

Depending on the backup types you have used, there may be several methods of recovering files and

folders. In most cases you recover files and folders in Windows. You can recover files and folders from

a file backup archive and from a disk/partition image as well. To recover files/folders from an image,

you can mount the image (see Mounting an image (p. 109)) and copy files/folders to a desired

location using Windows Explorer.

If you need to recover just a single file/folder or a few files, double-click on the required image

backup archive. Then drill-down to the folder containing the file(s) you need to recover, select the

file(s), right-click and choose Copy in the shortcut menu, open a folder for saving the files to be

recovered, right-click in the folder and choose Paste in the shortcut menu. You can also drag the files

from the backup archive into the destination folder. This method can also be used in case of My Data

type backup archives.

One more method of recovering files/folders from an image is described below. See Recovering files

and folders from image archives (p. 82).

9.4.1. Recovering files and folders from file archives

This section describes how to recover files and folders from a file backup archive.

1. Start the Recovery Wizard by selecting Recovery → Recovery Wizard in the main program menu.

2. Select the archive.

Data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the archive to consist of files of no more than 2GB. If you

suspect that some of the files are larger, first copy the entire archive (along with the initial full backup) to a
