Operations with backups

To perform any operation with a backup

In the Navigation pane, select the vault that contains archives.
On the Archive view tab of the vault, select the archive. Then, expand the archive and click the backup to select it. If the archive is protected with a password, you will be asked to provide it.
Perform operations by clicking the corresponding buttons on the toolbar. These operations can also be accessed from the '[Backup name]' actions item of the main menu.

The following is a guideline for you to perform operations with backups.

To	Do
View backup content in a separate window	Click View content. In the Backup Content window, examine the backup content.
Recover	Click Recover. The Recover data page will be opened with the pre-selected backup as a source.
Convert a disk/volume backup to a virtual machine	Right-click the disk backup, then select Convert to VM. The Recover data page will be opened with the pre-selected backup as a source. Select the location and the type of new virtual machine and then proceed as with regular disk or volume recovery.
Validate a backup	Click Validate. The Validation page will be opened with the pre-selected backup as a source. Validation of a file backup imitates recovering of all files from the backup to a dummy destination. Validation of a disk backup calculates a checksum for every data block saved in the backup.
Export a backup	Click Export. The Export page will be opened with the pre-selected backup as a source. The export of a backup creates a new archive with a self-sufficient copy of the backup in the location you specify.
Convert a backup to full	Click Convert to full backup to replace the incremental or differential backup with a full backup for the same point in time. See "Converting a backup to full" for more information.
Delete a single or multiple backups	Select one of the backups you want to delete, then click Delete. The program duplicates your selection in the Backups deletion window that has check boxes for each archive and each backup. Review the selection and correct if need be (select the check boxes for the desired backups), then confirm the deletion.
Delete all archives and backups in the vault	Please be aware that if filters have been applied to the vaults list, you see only a part of the vault content. Be sure that the vault does not contain archives you need to retain before starting the operation. Click Delete all. The program duplicates your selection in the Backups deletion window that has check boxes for each archive and each backup. Review the selection and correct if need be, then confirm the deletion.
