How to restore from older backup?

SYMPTOMS:

Trying to restore from another backup which was created on another
machine or on previous time, but Genie Timeline view the current backup job.

 
RESOLUTION:

1. Go to Start menu >> All programs >> Genie9 >> Genie Timeline Tools >> Genie Timeline Restore.

2. From the “Advanced Restore” wizard, select “Restore from an older backup” option.



3. Browse for your backup folder (_Genie Timeline), select it and do not go deeper.



4. Expand the folder structure to browse for the files and folders needed to be restored, move the Timeline slider to select the time frame to restore data from, select the data you wish to restore, and click "Next" to proceed to restore options.



5. Set the restore options: With these options, users can specify where to restore the items and solve restore conflicts with files that have the same name.

- Change Restore location:

  • Under “Restore location”, select Restore to an alternate location.

  • Click the Browse button to browse and select for the location attended to restore to.

- Replace existing file options:


If one or more backed up files are selected for restoring, and they already exist in the restore location, the following options can be used to resolve conflict:
  • Replace the file only if the backed up file is newer: If the file being restored is newer than the one already existing on the restore destination, Genie Timeline will replace it with the one in the backup.

  • Do not replace any files: If the file already exists on the restore destination, do not restore the backed up file.

  • Always replace files: Replace all files from the backup, regardless if newer.



    • APPLIES TO:

      Genie Timeline 2.1, 2012, 2013 and 2014
