Restoring Backups with SyncBackSE

Preparing SyncBackSE Before You Restore

Before you restore files you may want to modify your profile:

If your profile is set to delete files from the destination that are not in the source then change it to 'Do nothing, skip the file' on the Decisions - Files option.

WARNING: DO NOT SELECT the 'Destination overwrites source always (restore) option' as this will have very serious consequences and will run the restore from the SOURCE when you perform the restore.

You probably do not want to replace your current files with older backup files. In this case enable the option 'Do not replace newer files with older files' available in the Profile Setup window under the Copy/Delete > Advanced options:

During the restore you may also want to stop any background backups from starting. To do this select Preferences > Options from the main menu and enable the option Stop background backups from starting (the program defualt setting):

You are now ready to carry out a Simulated Restore.
