Advanced Restore Options
These options apply to all restore jobs regardless of the operating system.
Eject media after use When this option is checked, Yosemite Server Backup automatically ejects the media at the end of the job. This feature only works on devices that support software eject.
Auto Retension When this option is checked, Yosemite Server Backup automatically re-tensions the media at the beginning of the job. This feature winds the tape cartridge end-to-end, applying equal tension to the entire media for maximum media life and data integrity. Your device must support auto re-tension to use this feature.
Restore files that are in use Select this option to restore the backup copy of the open file. (On Windows platforms, you can access the restored file after you restart the computer.) If you select this option, the restored file will replace your open file. As a result, your current changes may be lost.
Deselect this option to skip over all selected files that are in use. This is useful if the open files are more current than the backed up files.
Omit security information This will remove any security information associated with the files and folders which were part of the backup. The files and folders will be restored as if they were freshly created, inheriting whatever permissions would belong to new files.
Reparse points [Windows only] Check this option to restore the reparse point data. When this option is deselected, Yosemite Server Backup will restore the object as a file or folder rather than as a reparse point.
Mount Points [Windows only] When checked, Yosemite Server Backup includes the mount point information in the restore. If this option is not checked, Yosemite Server Backup restores the object as a directory.
Volume restrictions [Windows only] When enabled, volume quota information will be restored.
Finalize recovery of Microsoft SQL and Exchange Server databases [Windows only] Check this option to process database transactions when the last incremental restore is complete.
Restore all registry keys / Restore hardware registry keys [Windows only] Controls whether/how Yosemite Server Backup will restore the described objects. These setting only applies if you are restoring the Registry System State object.
Restore DFS/FRS shares as primary replica (authoritative restore) [Windows only] Use this option to control how a DFS or FRS share is being restored. Only check it if you want an authoritative restore. See the Microsoft documentation for more information on authoritative restores.

NOTE: Data filters, such as security information and directory attributes, cannot restore data that was not originally backed up to the media. For example, if you did not select Volume restrictions for the backup job, Yosemite Server Backup cannot restore this information because it was never stored on the media. | |

Native data streams format When this option is selected, Yosemite Server Backup will compare the data in native format. When unselected, only the data portion of the file will be verified. This must match the mode used during backup.
Enable snapshots [Windows only] By default, the verify job creates a temporary snapshot before verifying the selected file. Deselect this checkbox to disable snapshots.
