Restore Manager Markers

Each object displayed in the Restore Manager window has a green or gray box to its left called a marker.

Green marker--Lets you control the extent of the restore for an object directly. Click a marker to exclude an object from a restore or to indicate that you want the restore for the object to be full or partial. As you click the marker, you fill or empty the marker of color, indicating the extent of the restore.
Gray marker--These markers are associated with objects that are not real and that you cannot restore. Typically, these items serve as placeholders under which other objects are grouped and displayed. As you click the green markers under a gray marker item, the fill proportion of the gray marker changes automatically from empty to partial to full depending on the proportion of files you have chosen to restore.

The following table describes the different marker configurations and corresponding restore levels:

Marker	Configuration	Description
	Completely filled center.	Full restore.
	Partially filled center.	Partial restore.
	Empty center.	Do not restore.

Note: Gray marker configurations follow the same pattern as green marker configurations, but reflect the proportion of files under them that are selected for restore.

The fill proportion of a marker at a higher level of the directory tree depends on the fill proportions of the markers of the objects at the lower levels.

If you click a marker at a higher, parent level so that it is completely filled, all the markers at the lower, child levels are automatically filled completely.
If you click all the markers at the lower, child levels so that they are completely filled, then the marker at the higher, parent level is automatically partially filled.
If the markers at the lower, child levels are a mix of completely filled and partially filled, the marker at the higher, parent level is automatically partially filled.
