Express changes the backup date to the date of the backup. (You can view this information for all of the
available versions in the Versions of... window in the Backed up field list.) You can use this information
to filter files for restore jobs.
To select files that have specific backup dates, click on the Browse button next to the Backup range
field. In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type, and the starting and
ending dates and times.
Each time a file is modified, its modified date is updated. You can use this filter to restore files whose
modified date matches your criteria. Data Protector Express checks the directory information on the
volume to see if the file should be included in the restore job. For example, you can select only those files
that were modified after a certain date and time or, alternatively, those that were modified before a certain
date and time.
To select files that have specific modify dates, click on the Browse button next to the Modify range field.
In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type and the starting and ending
dates and times.
When a file is first created, it is assigned a create date. You can use this filter to select only those files that
match your criteria. Data Protector Express checks the created date for each file stored in the directory of
the volume and uses this to select files for restoring.
To select files that have specific creation dates, click on the Browse button next to the Create range
field. In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type, and the starting and
ending dates and times.
This filter gives you an easy way to select files to restore that have been deleted from the volume, but for
which Data Protector Express has valid versions stored in its catalog and on valid media.
When files that have once been backed up are later deleted, Data Protector Express marks these files with
a special icon, indicating that they have been deleted. In addition, Data Protector Express assigns the file a
delete date, which you can view on the General page of that file's property page.
