In order to completely restore your backed up configuration, you need to follow a few extra steps.
|
Follow the steps for a regular restore operation ensuring that
when prompted for ‘Restore Location’, you select the “Original” location.
you click on “Advanced Settings” and select the third option, viz. “Overwrite the existing file with the restored file”. Note that any old data will be overwritten!
Restore! (if restoring Outlook, please ensure that Outlook is closed at the time of restore)
The required files are now in their designated locations. You only need to update the registry now – an easy task with GigaVaultStorage!
