Restoring Data

If files, the registry, or directory services are not accessible, you need to restore them. Restore operations are only possible if you have used Backup or another program to backup the files on your computer. Backup allows you to restore the entire backup medium, one or more backup sets, or individual files. After the restore operation starts, you have the option of restoring the local registry and directory service as well.

All catalog information is normally maintained on the corresponding medium for that backup set.

When you insert a backup medium to restore information, only information about the first backup set is displayed. To restore the entire medium, load the catalog first. Otherwise, when you select a medium, you are selecting only the displayed sets.
