Caution: Selecting a backup with a specific date/time stamp is
strongly recommended.
In most cases, selecting Latest Backup is the same as selecting the backup
in the list with the most recent date/time stamp. However, if the most recent
backup is marked <Protect>, the Latest Backup will be in an incomplete
state. In that case, be sure to select one of the other listed backup dates
rather than Latest Backup.
In addition, if nothing displays in this column besides Latest Backup, do not
recover this disk or partition. In this situation, Latest Backup represents only
the empty storage space allocated for the backup and contains no data to
recover. You can press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to exit the recovery CD.
If you select Latest Backup, an additional backup is created on the storage

If you're simply overwriting corrupted data on your original disk, select this option.
Only the data that differs between the backup and the local disk will be copied to
the local disk. This can minimize the impact to the network, although the
scanning process takes some additional time.
If you're recovering the backup to a brand new disk, clear this option. All the
data from the backup will be copied to the new disk without any scanning (there
will be nothing to scan on the new disk).
