When restoring a folder or file is it possible to restore with a different name?
Hello,
When restoring a folder or file is it possible to restore with a different name?
If I wanted to restore the file but not ovelay what I am restoring, is it possible to rename my restored file?
Thanks in advance
Stu
So far I am very happy with the product. It is much more reliable than Windows 10's File History software.

Thanks for your response.
How does one restore to a temporary location? I did not see any option to perform this.
Thanks

Stuart, see the ATIH 2017 User Guide: Recovering files and folders where in step 7, it states:
Select a destination on your computer to where you want to recover selected files/folders. You can recover data to its original location or choose a new one, if necessary. To choose a new location, click the Browse button.
When you choose a new location, the selected items will be recovered by default without recovering the original, absolute path. You may also wish to recover the items with their entire folder hierarchy. In this case select the Keep the original folder structure check box.
You can also do this very easily using Windows Explorer: double-click on your backup .TIB file and it will open up in Explorer and you can then do a copy & paste of the files or folders that you want to restore, moving them to another location in the process. Note: the backup .TIB file is read-only so you cannot rename the files or folders before pasting them into a temporary location first.

Steve,
Thanks for your response.
Somehow I missed the obvious. I did not see where I could change the destination. Now I see where I may change it.
Thanks again.

Stu, thanks for the update, glad you are making progress. It is very easy to miss the things that can be right under your nose! Done the same many times!

So have I. The older I get the more often it happens.
