m If the item is system software, click Replace Newer Version.

m If the item is one of your own files, click Keep Newer Version.

m If, after the restore procedure, you still have problems with the disk, repeat the restore procedure and, this time, replace all newer items with the older items.

A sound alerts you when it’s time to insert another disk.
