Settings

A click on the "Settings" button of the tool bar opens the settings windows of the restore section. Here you can set or modify several restore options, like the overwrite mode and the creation of empty directories. The important setting is the overwrite mode.

The following settings for overwrite are possible:

| No Do not overwrite existing files Only Older Overwrite only files that are older as the file at the backup data
| Rename Rename extisting files. As suffix is ".1", ".2", ".3" used. The suffix depends on how much copies on the destination exists.
| Yes Overwrite existing files on the destination. As default for the overwrite mode is set "No", no files would be overwritten.

In addition to a "Yes" selection it's possible to indicate by activating the "Ask" checkbox that SIEGFRIED BACKUP will request confirmation from the user before overwriting a file.

This feature is not available in the demo version.

Clicking "Ok" confirms all settings. "Cancel" discards the modified settings and keeps the old settings, which also occurs when the user closes the window with close button or presses the <ESC> key.
