    • Delete the content, then copy: If there is a file in the folder, this file will be deleted first. All files from the backup will then be copied.
    • Replace and copy: If there are files in the target directory with the same name as in the backup, these will be replaced. The files that are not yet available in the target directory will then be copied.

      • The functions Delete contents, then copy and Replace and copy act differently depending on the device. For more information about these functions regarding your device type, see the respective documentation for each device type under Device support.

    • To stop this process, click on Cancel.
  1. When you check the checkbox Show target directory in file manager in the dialog Successfully copied, the copied files will be displayed in the specified directory. Click on Close.
  2. The job results are now located in the specified target directory and can be used, for example, for a recovery.
