Selecting what to restore is a two-step process:
Use the Restore Preference option to specify more detailed information about what is to be restored. You can use the Restore All option to restore the complete backup image or use Explore & Select option to view the restore tree and select files manually or use Search Specific files to search for specific files/folders to restore.
