A point-in-time restore allows you to restore only those files or folders that were active on a specific date.

Example Use
You backup daily. One day you realize that this one program does not work correctly, but it worked fine 2 days ago. You can restore the folder or disk the program is on to the exact way it was 2 days ago.

1. Launch the ADSM Backup program.

2. Click the Restore button.

3.. Click the Point In Time button at the top of the window.

4. In the window that appears, click the checkbox next to where it says "Use a Point in Time date during restore"

Then, select the date you want the point in time restore to look for.

Example: Today is October 19, 1999 and the problematic program I am trying to use worked fine 2 days ago. So, I would set the date to October 17, 1999. Do not worry about the Hour or Minute fields.

5. Click the OK button.

6. Locate the disk, folder, or file you want to perform a point-in-time restore for.

Click the Checkbox () next to the file, folder, or disk to select it for backup

Note: If it does not have this icon (), it will not be restored.

  • File:

7. Click the Restore button at the top of the window.

8. Your files will restore to the date you specified.
