Restore Markers

Regardless of which restore method you select, when you navigate to a specific volume, folder, or file to restore, each object displayed in the restore window has a green or gray box to its left called a marker. These markers are visual indicators of the objects that are or are not selected for restore.

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:

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 all the markers at the lower levels are completely filled, then the marker at the higher level is also automatically completely filled.
• If the markers at the lower levels are a mix of completely filled and partially filled, then the marker at the higher level is automatically partially filled.

If you click a marker at a higher level so that it is completely filled, then all the markers at the lower levels are automatically filled completely.
