through the selection of files, settings, and options for your
backup.

Open the Restore Wizard, which leads you step-by-step
through the selection of files, settings, and options for your
restore.

Open the Job Options dialog box, where you can select
options for the current backup job.

Display your files as small icons in vertical rows (List View).

Display your files in a vertical list with file size, type, and mod-
ified date (Detail View).
