Restoring Files and Folders from Find Results

After you perform a find operation, you can choose files and folders to restore based on the filtering criteria you selected.

Find results work differently when a Content Indexing job is run after the last backup job:

  • If Content Indexing is enabled on the client, and jobs are content indexed, results are displayed from content indexed data.

  • If Content Indexing is not enabled, results are displayed from backed up file and folder metadata.

The selection icons indicate these conditions:

not_selected

The object is not selected for the restore operation.

full_selection

The object is selected for the restore operation. If the object is a folder, only the folder is restored and all child objects within the folder are not restored.
