You can either select a different folder or, alternatively, Data Protector Express lets you create a new
folder in which to restore the files.

Selecting Versions of Files for Restore Jobs

Each time you mark a selection box of a file or folder for restoring, Data Protector Express automatically
selects the latest version. If you want to specify a different version, use the Versions of... window to
select which version of the file you wish to restore.
You can also specify a particular version of a file or folder by highlighting it in the tree view or object
detail areas and then clicking the Select Version button on the toolbar. Data Protector Express will show
you the Versions of... window with a list of the available versions for that file.
Be certain to specify carefully which version of a file you wish to restore. A single Data Protector Express
restore job can restore files backed up over a period of months or years on media created by many
different backup jobs. You can easily restore all of the latest versions of the files by selecting the latest
version in the Versions of... window. However, if you want versions of files that were created on
different dates, you must select each version of each file individually.
Note that you cannot restore multiple versions of the same file in a single restore job. If you want to
restore more than one version of a file, you must create and run a separate job for each version.
To select versions of files for restore jobs
1. Open the Properties page of the restore job and click on the Selection page.
2. Check the selection boxes next to the files, folders or other containers you wish to include in the job.
3. To select a specific version of the objects you selected, highlight the folder or file and click the Select
Version button. In the Versions of... window that appears, select the appropriate date of the version
you wish to restore. If you want to include all of the files in a folder or on a volume, select the latest
version.
4. Click the Selection Filters button on the toolbar and specify filter selection criteria. (You can skip
this step if you don't wish to apply any selection filters.)
5. Examine the tree view and object detail areas on the Selection page to check that the files you
intended are marked for restoring.
6. Additionally, you can change the names of the files and store them in new locations. This is discussed
in Restoring Files with New Names and Locations on page 78.
When you click on the Selection Filters button, the Selection Filters window appears. This window has
multiple selection filters you can use to sort through the files you have selected for restoring.
