How to recover directory by date

Thread solved

I have daily incremental backups for a drive that has many directories. I need to recover one of those directories from an earlier date. If I click to where the list of directories are, there is only the current directory shown. If I click on that, it lists all of the files and I can sort those by date but doing it that way will take a long time.

The previous version of TI I had had a date selector that would allow me to pick which backup to use. How do I do that in this version?

Open the Recovery page for your backup then select the recovery date / time from the list in drop-down (see image below).

Also, if you open the backup file in Windows' File Explorer you will be given a list of all the contained backups with their backup dates.  Expand the one you want and you can copy the directory or files contained in it.

Steve - Thank you for the help. I don't know how I missed that. I clicked on the mark as fixed button but it changed to didn't help. How do I fix that?

Patrick - Thank you for the suggestion. I saw that in the documents for this version when I uploaded but it doesn't work for some reason. When I click on a backup to open it, I just get a busy indicator. I just tried it again but stopped it after 45 minutes of waiting.
