6.Click Next.

You will now be asked where you wish to restore your ﬁles to. You have two options:

Retrospect Express HD will then restore the ﬁles to your pre-selected location and provide you with the time that it will take to complete the restore. When ﬁnished, the Retrospect Express HD window will appear.

Understanding the Restore Points Window

The restore points window shows a calendar with the date in bold for the days that restore points were created. It will also list all the restore points in ascending order in a list box.

When you select a date on the calendar, the list of restore points will automatically scroll to show all those that are associated with that speciﬁc date. The latest backup on that date will be highlighted. The drive for the restore point will also be shown.

A green icon will appear before the date if the backup was successful, a yellow icon if the backup succeeded with some non-fatal errors, and a red icon if the backup failed.
