Setting Restore Options; Files To Restore Exclusion; Files Overwriting Mode - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 9.1 - WORKSTATION User Manual

If Acronis Universal Restore finds no HAL or hard disk controller drivers compatible with the
new hardware in all available sources, you will be prompted to browse network share drive,
floppy disk or CD to select missing drivers. On starting Windows, it will initialize a common
procedure for installing new hardware. At this point, you will be able to specify drivers for
devices, if Windows cannot find them automatically.

7.4 Setting restore options

To view or edit the default restore options in Acronis True Image Workstation local version,
select Tools -> Options -> Default Restoration Options from the main program menu.
To do the same remotely, connect Acronis True Image Management Console to the remote
computer, click Remote Computer Options and select Default Restoration options.
You can edit the default (or set the temporary) restore options while creating a restore task
as well.

7.4.1 Files to restore exclusion

The default setting – Restore all files.
You can set the default filters for not to restore files of specific types. Use the common
Windows masking rules. For example, to exclude all files with extension .exe, add *.exe
mask. My???.exe mask will reject all .exe files with names, consisting of five symbols and
starting with "my".
This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives. When restoring
files from a disk/partition image, you cannot filter out any files.

7.4.2 Files overwriting mode

This option allows you to keep useful data changes, made since the backup being restored
was done. Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same
name as in the archive.
Overwrite existing file – this will give the archived file unconditional priority over the file
on the hard disk.
Overwrite existing file if it is older – this will give the priority to the most recent file
modification, whether it is in the archive or on the disk.
