7. Click Start Restore to restore the selected files and folders. If there is already a

file or folder with the same name in the location you’ve selected, you can:

• Overwrite the current version with the restored version by clicking Copy

and Replace.

• Keep the current version and discard the restored version by clicking “Don’t

copy.”

• Keep both versions by clicking the “Copy, but keep” option. The new file-

name will be the same as the old filename, but with a numeric suffix, indi-

cating the version increment.

If you want to use the same response for all conflicts, select the “Do

this for all conflicts” checkbox before you click an option.
