By using the available restore options, you can restore all the selected data to one specific destination. However, you can use a map file to restore individual files and folders to different locations.
The map file contains a list of files to be restored, with their corresponding restore paths.
For example, if you want to restore a file in Drive C, it would be difficult to browse through hundreds of your documents to select that particular file. Instead, if you create a map file with the source and destination information, only the required file is restored to the specified destination.
