Restoring Backups

You can start the restoring process not only by running the Restoring Wizard from the Utilities menu, but also by using the Tasks menu or by using the Recent backups menu commands.

The only difference compared to other starting methods is that when you run the Restoring Wizard from the Utilities menu, you have to locate the backup file you want to restore. When started from the menus, the backup file is already selected based on the active task or recent backup selection. Thus in many cases it's more convenient to run the Restoring Wizard from the recent backups menu.

Quick restoring option in the menu is similar to the description above, except it starts restoring process automatically, and you do not have to do any selections in the wizard. All the files found in the backup, are restored to their original locations. Current files available are replaced with the ones found in the backup.

If you have created an "executable backup", you do not need any other programs (including TK8 Backup) to restore your data. You only have to execute the backup file from Windows (through My computer, for example, and follow the restoring wizard steps.
