Restore types

SEP sesam provides three basic restore types: complete, generation and selective restore. The restore type is specified when configuring a restore task.

The following restore types are available:

Complete restore: A process by which an entire saveset is restored – all the files of a saveset are selected and restored.

Selective restore: Only a subset of a saveset's files is selected – only selected parts of data on the saveset, such as individual files and directories, are restored. The Expert Options button for specifying advanced restore options is available only in advanced UI mode (formerly expert GUI mode). To use Expert Options, make sure your UI mode is set to advanced. For details, see Selecting UI mode.

Generation restore: All generations of backed-up files, including differential or incremental backup files, can be browsed for and selected for restore. SEP sesam automatically switches to the generation view in which all the generations of the files are presented. The selection list displays all files since the last full backup.
