First Restore Task: Simple Mode

This article describes how to easily restore data from a backup. Simple steps that you will have to repeat to restore data from your backup without any complications or questions.

To restore backup information, please follow these next steps:

1. Run a New Task Wizard with a "New" button or by pressing Ctrl+N.
2. Select Restore, and then click "Next". Do not mark "Use Advanced Wizard" if you will plan to stay in simple task mode.

3. (For network solution only) In the upper left corner select a remote machine to use it as backup storage.
4. On the left panel, click on an appropriate data storage plug-in, e.g., Computer for data stored on the local machine.

5. Select a folder with your backup on the right panel.
6. Click on the index file (backup.hbi, always presents in backups), and then click "Next".
7. Here you must also enter a password for your backup, if you choose to encrypt your copy during creating a backup task.

8. Select a place to restore data. You can use "Select all" and "Deselect all" buttons to speed up complete selection or erasing. Click "Next".

9. Select either full or incremental recovery, then click "Next" and proceed to the final step.

Note: Full recovery will restore all data from backup. Incremental recovery will restore only those files that will changed in backup since the previous restoration.

10. On the final step, give a name for your task, and mark an option to run this task immediately after creating it. Click "Finish" – well done!

A new task will appear in the main program window. If you select immediate running for a task, you will see also the task results in the main window.
