across multiple categories, in the retrieve files selection box (Figure 15), right-click the
folder and choose Select folder in all content categories.

Retrieving an Earlier Version of a File or Deleted Files

In the retrieve files selection box (Figure 15), check the Show Deleted Files box and/or
the Show older versions of files box. Now, when selecting content to retrieve, you can
select individual files that were overwritten or deleted. Likewise, retrieving entire folders
in this mode will retrieve older versions and deleted files as well.

Retrieving All Your Content

On the Select content to retrieve... screen (see Figure 14 on page 23), choose the
Retrieve all Files option, which retrieves files across all categories and copies them to
either their original locations or the Retrieve Contents folder.
