    !

    RAW files are only available for certain Backup Set for example: VMware, Hyper-V and Lotus Domino.

    Select advanced options (Applicable to File Backup Set):

    1. Restore File permission

    3. Follow Link

    Note: By default only "Follow Link" option is selected.

    For restore of large files with many incremental data files, we recommend you select a drive with plenty of free space.

    For better restore performance the "Temporary directory for storing restore files" should be located on a local drive.

Your selected files/folders will now be restored from the storage destination to your selected location.
