across multiple categories, in the retrieve files selection box (see Figure 16), right-click
the folder and choose Select folder in all content categories.

Retrieving All Your Files
On the Select content to retrieve... screen (see Figure 15 on page 25), choose the
Retrieve all Files option, which retrieves files across all categories and copies them to
either their original locations or the Retrieve Contents folder.
