Archiving files
Archive is another type of backup you can do with Retrospect
Express. Note that using this function will permanently remove files
from the source drive and place them on the destination drive. If
your destination drive is lost or damaged, you will have lost your
only copy of these files.
Can I do other types of backup?
Yes. Using Retrospect Express, you can also create a script to back
up multiple revisions of each file or to back up multiple drives or
folders to a single backup set. This is the second type of backup
you can create and customize. To access files contained in the
backup set, use Retrospect Express.

OneTouch feature.
To r e s t o r e f iles:
1. Select the drive containing the copy of your files.
2. Open the Retrospect Backup folder and then the folder
