Using the Restore Wizard you can restore from a backup job. In the first step you can choose the destination, the priority of the execution and customize the restore operation if you wish.

 

 

Restore in

 

Use original location

Copies the files from the zip backup into the original location. If a file with the same name already exists, a dialog will be shown prompting for an action before the restore can continue.

 

Choose another location

Copies files from the zip backup to a different folder. If selected, you can choose a different folder to restore files from the backup.

 

Do not create drive letter folder

If checked, Backup4all will restore the files in the designated location using the original directory structure. If you select this option and you have files from multiple drives, some files might get overwritten. For example, if you backed up your Documents and Settings folder from your C drive, when you restore it to a different location having the Do not create drive letter folder unchecked, Backup4all will first create a folder named C and in it place the Documents and Settings folder. If you would have checked the Do not create drive letter folder option, the folder named C wouldn't have been created.

 

 

Restore execution priority

 

Using the slider you can set the restore execution priority compared to the rest of the running processes on your system. For example, setting the priority to Highest priority, will determine the system to allocate most of its resources for the restore execution.
