How to restore ?

To restore a previously created archive (".zip" file) you click on the "Restore" button in the main screen.

Type in or browse to the archive you want to restore. You are then prompted to select the restore options. They are:

If you have selected "Full Restore" option there is nothing else to do, and you click on "Next" button to continue.

However if you have chosen "Selective restore" option then you have got to select the files you wish to restore from the list of files in the  "Select files to restore" pane.

To select more than one file press" ctrl" key while selecting the files. After you have selected all the files, click on "Select" button to continue.

Here you are prompted to enter your choice as to whether you want to restore the backup to the original location or you want to restore the backup to another location. If you choose to restore the backup to original location then there is no problem, just Click on the "Start" button to start restoration.

However, if you choose to restore the backup to another location, You might get a message like this:

"This option lets you restore the archive at another destination. But since the drive structure of your disk cannot be mapped to a folder, the drives will be represented by folders of same name in destination folder. Click on "Yes" to continue, "No" to cancel."

Precisely it means that since the program cannot create a drive structure in a folder, the files which had to be restored to say D:\ drive will be restored to the folder in another folder with name DriveD, and  a file that had to be restored to C:\ drive will be restored to a folder named DriveC in the destination folder. This is done so that if there are files with same names in C:\ and D:\ drive then the file on one drive is not overwritten by a file on another drive.

Click on  "Yes" if you still want to restore the files to another folder.

A progress pane informs you about the progress, how many files will be restored, and which file is being currently processed. After the restoration is complete You will see a dialog informing you about the successful restoration.

Again you have an option to cancel the restoration in between by pressing the "Cancel" button. By the time you have exercised this option some files will be restored to the disk and they will remain so. Simply put that means "Cancel" button interrupts the process in this case.
