2. Type of data to restore: By default, the type of data to restore will be Volume Groups/ZFS Pools.
However, it is possible to restore different types of data, including logical volumes, filesystems,
directories or regular files. To restore a different type of data than that shown, select the arrow button
to display a list of restore data types allowed for this type of backup and select from the list.

type one or more options to restore (i.e. a list of volume groups if restoring volume groups), each option
separated by spaces. You may also click on the arrow button to display a list of options to restore. If
restoring files or directories, this list could be quite long, and new buttons will appear at the bottom of
the screen from which you may select items to restore from a file tree or search the list for specific
patterns. Refer to
below for details.
4. Destination [option]: This label will show either directory or logical volume, depending on the restore
data type. If restoring a logical volume (i.e. one not containing a filesystem), you may type the name of
a different logical volume (which must already exist) to restore the data to. If restoring from any other
backup type, you may select the directory into which the data will be restored. For more details on how
the files will be restored to the new destination, refer to
