7.4 Setting restore options
To view or edit the default restore options in Acronis True Image Workstation local version,
select Tools -> Options -> Default Restoration Options from the main program menu.
To do the same remotely, connect Acronis True Image Management Console to the remote
computer, click Remote Computer Options and select Default Restoration options.
You can edit the default (or set the temporary) restore options while creating a restore task
as well.
7.4.1 Files to exclude from restoration
The preset is Restore all files.
You can set the default filters for the specific types of files that are not to be restored. Use
the common Windows masking rules. For example, to exclude all files with extension .exe,
add *.exe mask. My???.exe mask will reject all .exe files with names, consisting of five
symbols and starting with “my”.
This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives. When restoring
files from a disk/partition image, you cannot filter out any files.
7.4.2 Files overwriting mode
This option allows you to keep useful data changes made since the backup being restored
was done. 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 archived file unconditional priority over the file
on the hard disk.
Overwrite existing file if it is older – this will give the priority to the most recent file
modification, whether it be in the archive or on the disk.
Do not overwrite existing file – this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional
priority over the archived file.
This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives.
