Selecting target location for files and folders

Where to recover

Destination

Select a location to recover the backed up files to:

• Original location

  Files and folders will be recovered to the same path(s) as they are in the backup. For example, if you have backed up all files and folders in C:\Documents\Finance\Reports\, the files will be recovered to the same path. If the folder does not exist, it will be created automatically.

• New location

  Files will be recovered to the location that you specify in the tree. The files and folders will be recovered without recreating a full path, unless you clear the Recover without full path check box.

Recovery agent

Select Acronis Agent that will perform file recovery. The agent selection is available only when the software cannot detect the agent on the machine the files will be recovered to.

Overwriting

Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same name as in the archive:

• Overwrite existing file - this will give the file in the backup priority over the file on the hard disk.
• Overwrite existing file if it is older - this will give priority to the most recent file modification, whether it be in the backup or on the disk.
• Do not overwrite existing file - this will give the file on the hard disk priority over the file in the backup.

If you allow files to be overwritten, you still have an option to prevent overwriting of specific files by excluding them from the recovery operation.

Recovery exclusions

Specify files and folders you do not wish to be recovered.
