6.4.1 Files to exclude from restoration
The preset is Restore all files.
You can set the default filters for the specific types of files that are not to be restored.
Use the common Windows masking rules. For example, to exclude all files with extension
.exe, add *.exe. My???.exe will exclude all .exe files with names, consisting of five
symbols and starting with “my”.
This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives. When restoring
files from a disk/partition image, you cannot filter out any files.

6.4.2 Files overwriting mode
This option allows you to keep useful data changes made since the backup being restored
was done. Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same
name as in the archive.
Overwrite existing file – this will give the archived file unconditional priority over the
file on the hard disk.
Overwrite existing file if it is older – this will give the priority to the most recent file
modification, whether it be in the archive or on the disk.
Do not overwrite existing file – this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional
priority over the archived file.

6.4.3 Pre/post commands
You can specify commands or batch files to be automatically executed before and after
the restore procedure. Click Edit to open the Edit Command window where you can
easily input the command, its arguments and working directory or browse folders to find a
batch file.
The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user
input (for example, “pause”.)
The backup process will run concurrently with your commands if you uncheck the Do not
perform operations until the commands execution is complete box, which is
checked by default.

6.4.4 Restoration priority
The default setting – Low.
The priority of any process running in a system determines the amount of CPU usage and
system resources allocated to that process. Decreasing the restoration priority will free
more resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing of restoration priority may speed up the
restore process due to taking resources from the other currently running processes. The
effect will depend on total CPU usage and other factors.
