This capability is available for the initially selected tree node (directory)
and for tree nodes that are not hierarchically dependent on any already
selected tree nodes. A selected tree node is indicated by a blue check
mark, and a dependent tree node is indicated by a black check mark.

Restore Into

appends the source path to the new one entered under

Location

. For example, if the

colors.mp3

file was backed up from the

C:\sound\songs

directory and you enter

\users\bing

as the new path,

the file is restored to the

C:\users\bing\sound\songs

directory.

Restore As

replaces the source path with the one entered under

Location

. The destination path can be a new directory or an existing

one. You can rename the files and directories as you restore them. For
example, if the

colors.mp3

file was backed up from the

C:\sound\songs

directory and you enter

\users\bing\colors.mp3

as the new path, the

file is restored to the

C:\users\bing

directory.

CAUTION

Consider the risk of deleting data with the

Overwrite

option enabled

when:

• Specifying restore under a name that already exists

• Entering an existing path without specifying the file or directory

name

For example, when you enter the new path

\users\bing

in the

Location

text box when restoring the file

colors.mp3

, but you do not

enter the name of the file, then the

colors.mp3

file will be restored as

bing

. What used to be the

bing

directory is deleted and substituted with

the restored file.

Restoring Files in Parallel

What Is Parallel
Restore?

Parallel restore lets you restore files to multiple disks at the same time,
assuming that the disks have been backed up to the same device using a
concurrency higher than 1. This improves the speed of the restore. This
behavior is complementary to a parallel backup, where files from
multiple disks are backed up concurrently to the same device.
