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
.
My???.exe
will exclude 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.
7.4.3 Pre/post commands
You can specify commands or batch files to be automatically executed before and after
the restore procedure. Click
Edit
to open the
Edit Command
window where you can
easily input the command, its arguments and working directory or browse folders to find a
batch file.
The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user
input (for example, “pause”.)
