Selecting a Destination for Retrieved Files

To retrieve files from a backup drive, you start by specifying the location on your hard drive to which you want the files retrieved. Retrieved files can either be copied to their original locations, or to a single retrieve folder you can define on your computer. After selecting the desired location or locations for file retrieval, WD SmartWare™ builds a list of files to be retrieved before starting the process.

To select a retrieve destination:

Do one of the following:

• To return all your files to their original locations on your computer, click the To the Original Places option.
• To return your files to a single folder, either the default folder or one you define, click the In the Retrieved Content Folder option. For information about selecting a different retrieval folder, see the following instructions.

To select a specific retrieval folder for all your files:

1. Click the In the Retrieved Content Folder option.
2. Click Browse to locate the folder to which you want files retrieved.
3. Click Apply.
