Step 3: Restore Strategy
General Strategy
it including Throttling Policy and Advanced Strategy. Similar to NAS backup, the throttling policy is optional, it is used to limit the transmission speed of NAS restore. And in Advanced Strategy, you can set 1 to 32 transfer threads for a single NAS restore job.
Advanced Strategy
There are four ways to Handle Same-name Files: Overwrite, Keep Latest, Add, Rename.
Overwrite: Overwrite the existing file data during recovery.
Keep Latest: Only recovers files with the most recent modification time.
Add: Only recovers files that are not already present.
Rename: For existing files, creates a new file with a similar name. For non-existing files, restores them directly.
If the Invalid Shortcut Cleanup is enabled, symbolic links/shortcuts without link targets will not be restored. When a file has a symbolic link object and is also a symbolic link, the symbolic link may be cleared.
If the File Permission Recovery is enabled, the files with backed-up permissions will be restored according to the permissions at the time of the backup. All abnormal files/directories in permission recovery are recorded in the skip file list. When restoring permissions, the user account will be checked to see if the target user exists.

After this you can browse the restored files/folders from the selected NAS share/file server in the selected path.
