When you restore a file, you need to be careful not to replace the original files, unless you have to.
Restore Target
A fundamental step in restoring backed up data is to select the target or destination of the files to be restored. This allows you to determine where you want WinBackup to place your backed up files. Click on the “Restore To” tab from the navigation bar. From the “Restore To” drop-down list in the work area, you have to select one of the following:
a) Original Location: This option restores each selected file to its original location. This option may replace your current files.
b) Alternate Location: This option restores each selected file to the location that you specify in the Location field. This selection recreates the subfolder structure as it was in the original location.
c) Single Folder: This option restores all the selected files into one folder. You specify the folder in the Location field.
You can either type in the target location, or click on the folder icon to find the target path.
There are two ways to replace your files during restore:
a) None (Restore Missing Files Only): This option compares the contents of the backup file with the contents of your target location. The files that do not exist in the target location will be restored.
b) All (Replace All Files): This will replace all files without checking if the current files are newer or older.
