Restoring
Previous Top Next


The restore operation can only be called from the File menu by clicking on the Restore item.   If the original files and folders, and the configuration have not changed since the last backup was done, this operation is an exact reversal of the backup operation.  It is important to know that all files and folders are overridden during this operation, regardless of the modification date. Because of this, extra care must be exercised when using the Restore operation.  Before you choose to use this restore feature, it is strongly recommended that you consult the Restore Info under the View menu first.  That way, you will know exactly what will be restored and where.   

Since files and folders are copied without any compression, this backup program is only doing what can be done using Windows Explorer... just in an organized manner.  So, if you want to restore just a particular file or group of files, or even a particular sub folder, then just use Windows Explorer.

A log file, myBackup.log will be written to as the restore progresses. This file lists all of the files copied and any errors occurring during the restore process.
