The File Inclusions Options section is displayed.
At the File Inclusion Option section, select which items to include in this view.
The General Options include files only if they exist both locally and remotely.
Each of the following Stray File Options describes the type of stray files available. For best results select Include files only if they are missing locally and Include files that are not in any backup set.
Include files only if they are missing locally.
Examples for this option include:
- a file that has been deleted or moved
- a file that has been archived to remote servers to free up local space
Include files that are not in any backup set.
Select this option to see folders removed from a backup set after being backed up. The removed folder remains backed up until manually deleted.
Only the top-level stray folder directories or files that are previous backup and removed from the definition of all backup sets are available for this view.
Subfolder and subfile data for that previously backed up folder are viewable and available for restoration but are not viewable or available for any other folder.
Include files that are globally excluded.
Select this option to see files that are globally excluded. If a new global exclude is added, files that match the exclude that are already backed up remain backed up.
If no stray file options are available, then all the options are already enabled.Click the section Apply button.
The Restore Options section is displayed.
At the Restore Path, keep the Original Path or select an Alternate Path restore source folder.
Note: The Alternate Path option lets you point the software to a specific location housing the backup data.
