3.5 Recovering specific files and folders

You will usually start recovering files and folders from Acronis Backup Explorer. When recovering a
specific file version, you will start recovery from the View Versions window. In either case, starting
recovery opens the File Recovery window.

Let's consider recovery of files and folders from the Backup Explorer.

1. Start Small Office Backup.
2. Find the disk backup which contains the files and folders you want to recover. On the

corresponding box click the gear icon and select Recover files.

3. In the Backup Explorer, select the files and folders you want to recover. For more information on

selection in the Backup Explorer see Files and folders tab (p. 22). Click Recover to start recovery.
This will open the File Recovery window.

4. Select a destination on your computer to where you want to recover selected files/folders. You

can recover data to its original location or choose a new one, if necessary. To choose a new
location, click the Browse... button.

5. When you choose a new location, the selected items will be recovered by default without

recovering the original, absolute path. You may also wish to recover the items with their entire
folder hierarchy. In this case select the Recover absolute path check box.

6. When needed, set the options for the recovery process (recovery process priority, file-level

security settings, etc.). To set the options, click the File recovery options link. The options you set
here will be applied only to the current recovery operation.

7. To start the recovery process, click the Recover now button.
8. The recovery progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the recovery by clicking

Cancel. Please keep in mind that the aborted recovery may still cause changes in the destination
folder.

3.5.1 Recovering file versions

If you need to recover a specific version of a file, select the file in the Backup Explorer. When you
select the file, the View versions link appears below the file size information. Clicking the link opens
the View Versions window with a list of all versions of the file in the backup.
