How do I do a full restore of [c] from attched USB drive?
I have full backup defined as Source: [c] Destination: USB_HDD_3 After factory default, I want to restore the entire [c] volume. When I try to create a backup job to do that, I see the source ...
I still have a problem:
I have the following shares defined on [c:]
The attached (front USB port) USB drive is USB_HDD_1.
USB_HDD_1 has the sub-directories created when I backup "Volume: c :" to the USB_HDD_1: Common, home, lost+found, LT_Backup, media, PC_backup
When I try to define a new backup job to restore, I see the following choices for "Source"
The following choices are available for "Destination"
Remote: (a number of these, that I'm sure don't apply to me)
Now, if I select "Source = Share: USB_HDD_1" and "Destination = Share: media", the entire content of USB_HDD_1 gets copied to share "media"
How do I select a specific directory on USB_HDD_1 when restoring back to the share on c:?
For example, I need to select "media" on USB_HDD_1 as source when I select "Share: media" as the destination. I cannot do that currently. I cannot select USB_HDD_1/media as the source.
How should I proceed?

PS: Wouldn't all this have been simple if the " Volume: c" was available as the destination, just like it is available a source of backups?
