You can edit the default (or set the temporary) restore options while creating a restore 
task as well. 
 
7.4.1  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. 
7.4.2  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. 
This option is effective only when restoring files from file/folders archives. 
7.4.3  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”.)
