Restoring Current or Historic Versions of an Entire Computer

Specify whether you want to restore the most current version of all the data for your computer, or to restore a historic version. If you are restoring your entire computer on media, then this option will also specify the version of the System State/registry that will be restored.

1. In the Restore tab on the Computer Restore form, select the Restore your entire computer backed up as of option to restore a historic version.

2. Set the time from which you want to restore the computer's data and System State/registry (if appropriate):

   1. In the time box, click a time element (for example, the hours).

   2. Type a number for the time or select the time.

3. Set the date from which you want to restore the computer's data and System State/registry (if appropriate):

   1. In the date box, click the arrow to open the calendar.

   2. Use the arrows to scroll to the appropriate month.

   3. Click a date to select it.

You will restore the latest version of all of the computer's data and the System State/registry (if appropriate) that was stored in the backup server as of the specified time and date.
