Select Data to Restore

Once you have selected the backup set to use, you need to choose the data you want restored. At the top of this screen, you can simply check the box to Restore everything in this backup. But, if there are specific files or data you are looking for, you can use the Add Files or Add Folders buttons to add them to the restore.

If you are looking for a file, but you are not sure exactly what drive or folder it is stored in, you can click on Search to use the search function to locate it.

Once you have selected all of the data you wish to restore from this backup set, click Next to initiate the data restoration and go get yourself a cup of coffee. Soon that investment account information you accidentally deleted, or the important PowerPoint presentation your kid "modified" will be back safe and sound just like you remember it.
