Start restore

A click on "Start restore..." opens the start window of the restoration procedure in which the title of the restoration can be defined. It's important to use a unique title. The title is shown in the "Restore", "JobQueue" and "Report" windows. SIEGFRIED BACKUP will define the title as "- no title -" if the title is left undefined. Increased security can be obtained for a backup by designating a password.

This feature is not available in the demo version of SIEGFRIED BACKUP.

If a backup is locked with a password, then the correct password has to be repeated in order to restore the backup. A line containing two columns appears in the password table for every locked backup. The first column contains the title and date of the backup. The password must be inserted in the second column.

Another special feature useful for creating more than one restoration simultaneously is the "Submit Job on hold" setting. The restoration is kept "on hold" when this setting is activated instead of starting immediately after clicking the "Ok" button. The restoration is then added to the job
queue with the status "Pause", which means that the restoration must be manually activated (using the "Start" or "Continue" in the "JobQueue" window) instead of starting automatically.
For a normal restoration "Submit job on hold" isn't neccessary. The "Ok" button starts the restoration. All settings are passed on to the job queue and the restoration starts. A status window informs the user of the progress of the restoration.
