Some sub-folders empty on Restore

Post by mattj7 »

When performing a restore with Backup 4 all 5.5 (build 850), some of the sub-folders of the folder selected are empty. When browsing to Restore > Choose/filter files and restore any version > Browse, I can see those sub folders and their contents, so clearly there was a backup at some point.

My best guess is that these sub folders were deleted at some point in the past, and so when I select a date it is not restoring those files if they did not exist on that date.

I am not sure when the contents of these sub-folders were deleted, is there any way to restore these sub folders, regardless of when they were on disk and backed up? I have already tried restoring from different dates and have not yet found a date to restore from that includes them.

Thanks for any help

For the record, softland support responded to me and pointed out a feature right under my nose. You can choose "include excluded or deleted items" on the first page of the restore wizard.

This fixed my issue.

Hi,

That is correct. The option is called "Restore excluded or deleted files" and can be selected from the first page of the "Restore Wizard".
