Click on "Preview" to preview the selected deleted file/folder, and click on "Recover" to restore data to the system. To select all items, click "Select All" or "Deselect All" to deselect all items in the list. An "Invert" option is given, which will help to revert the selection, i.e., the items checked will be unchecked and vice versa.

Note: Please see the detailed explanation of Filter Options under the "Settings" tab.

Step4: Recover

The selected files and folders to be recovered will be stored in the user-specified location on the system. For this, you may browse through your system and choose a location. You may also "Create New Folder" to restore selected files and folders.

may make them unrecoverable and defeat the purpose of retrieval.

Whenever you restore the selected files and folders to their original locations, Undelete will prompt you and ask if you want to continue the recovery process. You may click on the "Yes" button to continue and click on the "No" button to choose an alternative location.

Recovering Deleted File(s) and Folder(s)

Undelete will recover the selected files to a user-defined location in this step. The recovery progress can be easily seen from the progress bar. Undelete also maintains the original hierarchical structure of the file(s) and folder(s) during recovery.

Step5: Finish

Once the recovery process is completed, a summary of the recovery process is displayed. The overview shows the total number of files scanned, the number of deleted files found, the number of files selected for recovery, the number of files recovered, and the total number of files remaining to be recovered.

You may return to the Welcome screen to restart the undelete process for another drive-on system by clicking on the "Finish" button.

Settings Tab

Under the Settings tab, you will see two options, “Scan Options” and “Filter Options,” in the left panel.

Scan Options

You may configure scan settings under this section. Scan options are divided into segments:

General

There are a few important choices under this segment.

• Check file header for extensions – Files can be identified with their header information. The files with wrong extensions can also be identified using the file header information. If you check this option, Undelete will examine each file closely, check the file header information for correct file extensions, and conduct a more logical search. The other two choices are grayed out unless this option is checked.
• Check all deleted and existing files – If you check this option, all deleted and existing (not yet deleted) files will be included in the search. (This option is grayed out unless the first option is checked).
• Add a correct extension if necessary – You may check this option to rectify the wrong file extensions based on file header information. Correct extensions would be added to the files with incorrect extensions and then included in the search. (This option is grayed out unless the first option is checked).
• Show Scan Types before the scan starts – You may check this option to allow the Undelete tool to show the Scan Types (Quick Scan and Deep Scan) before the scan operation. You may choose the scan type of your choice and proceed further.

Scan Types

You may choose the type of scan you wish to scan the selected areas for deleted files and folders.

• Quick Scan – Each file on the system is a part of MFT (Master File Table). MFT contains all the information of all files with their respective characteristics and attributes. When a file is deleted, it can still be traced from MFT and retrieved. Quick Scan helps to identify deleted files and folders from MFT. This is a faster but less comprehensive scan type.
• Deep Scan – Deep Scan helps carry out a sector-wise scanning of hard disk wherein the deleted files and folders are searched based on their unique signatures. This is a slower but more comprehensive scan type.

To apply the changes done in the scan settings, click on the "Save Settings" button.

Filter Options

You may filter and refine the search results using various options divided into two broad sections and subdivided further.

General Filter Options

• Show only deleted files – Check this option to show only the deleted files and folders in the scan results.
• Show empty – Check this option to show empty files and folders in the scan results.
• File name wildcard – You may type text/characters in this box and accordingly filter search results.

Advanced Filter Options

• Time filter – You may filter search results based on date and time. Set a date under the “Date/Time” section and use filters (less than, less than equal to, equal to, greater than, and greater than equal to) to get the desired results.
• Size filter – You may filter the search based on file size. Set a figure in the “Size” section and use filters (less than, less than, equal to, equal to, greater than, and greater than equal to) to get the desired results.
• File Health filter – You may filter the search results based on the current recoverable status of the files. There are 6 options under this filter section, namely Unrecoverable (files that cannot be recovered), Bad (partially recoverable), Poor (cannot be recovered at all), Good (recoverable), Excellent (fully recoverable), and Existing (files which have not been deleted). You may check one or multiple options for customizing the search.
• Attribute filter – The search can be filtered based on the file attributes. Six attributes are 6 attributes given under this filter section: Archive, Read-Only, Hidden, System, Compressed and Encrypted. You may check one or multiple options for customizing the search.

The changes done in the settings should be saved by clicking on the "Save Settings" button in the lower right corner.

• Simple Backup Job – Allows creating a zip archive containing all files and folders selected for backup into a single .7Z file which is then saved in the destination folder.

• Encrypted Backup Job – This allows creating an encrypted (password protected) zip archive containing all files and folders selected for backup into an encrypted .7Z file. On selecting this option, you need to set a password for the encryption.

• Compression Ratio

The level at which the size of any file or folder is compressed is mentioned under the compression ratio. Backup Manager offers the following three levels of compression:

• Low Compression (Fast Process) – By selecting this compression ratio, you can compress the actual size of the backup files with a fast speed, but there would not be much of a difference in the size.
• Medium Compression (Recommended) – The compression level is higher than the first ratio on selecting this compression ratio. Still, the speed with which the compression is done is a little low. It is the recommended ratio of compression.
• Maximum Compression (Slow Process) – On selecting this compression ratio, the compression level will be highest, but the speed with which the actual file is compressed is the slowest. You will find a major size difference from the file's original size.

System Files Backup and Restore

No one can afford to lose even a bit of critical information in today's fast-moving world. And when we talk about computers, the information stored on them is prone to be damaged due to system failures, hard disk failures, sudden catastrophic failures, human issues, and accidental deletions.

Hence, a copy of each document, file, and folder is important. This helps avoid unexpected repercussions. The same is true for System Files. But how can one take Windows file backup?

This is when you use the System Files Backup and Restore feature.

What are System Files?

Files necessary for any operating system to function are called system files, and a loss of even one can cause fatal issues. Therefore, keeping a backup of all system files is vital. In other words, we can say the backup of system files in Windows file backup.

How can System Files Backup and Restore prove to be helpful?

In the present scenario, taking a backup of system files is inevitable. For a layman, tracking down the system files and managing a backup of each file is not easy. Moreover, keeping Windows 10 file backup is a tedious & time-consuming task. But, using System Files Backup and Restore, users can easily identify the system files and take the backup of Windows 10 and other essential files in an organized manner.

The System Files Backup and Restore module offered by Advanced System Optimizer takes the complete backup of all system files needed for Windows to operate. Also, it facilitates easy restoration options in case of system failures. Furthermore, it has additional features that assist in importing backups taken previously or backups taken by other users to its own Backup List.

How to Use System Files Backup and Restore?

The complete System Files Backup and Restore is summarized with a very simple user interface and the three tabs in the application. The “Backup” tab helps in taking a complete backup of system files, while the “Restore” tab is there to support the restore activity, and the “Import Backups” helps upload system backups taken previously.

Backup Tab

System Files Backup and Restore takes the backup of all system files in three easy steps (see left panel):

1). Welcome

2). Backup Progress

3). Finish

Step1: Welcome

The welcome screen shows a button “Take Backup Now” in the middle of the screen that specifies the action in itself. By clicking this button, the system files backup process is initiated.

The lower half of the screen displays the System Summary

• Date of Last Backup and
• No. of existing backups

Clicking "Take Backup Now" opens a new window asking for the location to save the backup. To select a suitable location, click on the icon in the right-hand corner of the box and browse through Windows Explorer

Thereafter, press the "Start Backup" button. System Files Backup and Restore will start Windows 10 file backup.

Step2: Backup Progress

System Files Backup and Restore will now take the complete backup of all system files. While taking the system file backup, the system might slow down, but there’s nothing to worry about. Since the system is in use, this happens sometimes. Therefore, we recommend backup Windows 10 files (system files) when the system is idle.

Step3: Finish

Backup Summary

The last step shows the successful completion of the system file backup. Here, the displayed information shows - Backup time and Backup Location.

You may click on the "Finish" button to restart the process.

Restore Tab

In case of system failures or malware infection, or problems caused due to improper software uninstallation using the Restore tab, the backups taken can be put back

The system can be restored to the last best configuration known in three easy steps (see left panel):

1). Welcome

2). Restore Progress

3). Finish

Step1: Welcome

Restoring System Files

The Welcome screen shows a "Restore Backup," a button clicking on, which helps view the Backup List. This list consists of all the backups taken so far with the date, time, and the path where the backups are stored.

You can select any backup that you consider suitable from the list and restore the system to that configuration by clicking on the "Start Restore" button.

Note: If you think some backups are too old, you can remove them from the Backup List by clicking on the "Delete" button. Clicking the “Cancel” button helps go back to the previous screen.

Step2: Restore Progress

To restore the selected backup system requires restarting; you will see this message click “Yes” to continue.

Step3: Finish

After the system restarts, your system will be restored.

How to Import Backup?

In case the Backup List in System Files Backup and Restore does not contain the system backups taken, you can use this section.

Explanation: When system backups are taken using some other applications, these backups might not be seen under System Files Backup and Restore. But using this option, these backups can be imported.

Note: One should be very careful while restoring these imported backups. Some backups might take you to unhealthy system configurations that may be fatal for the system. In extreme situations, the operating system may have to be reinstalled. Therefore, when importing and restoring backup, be very careful.

This operation is divided into 2 steps (see left panel):

1). Welcome

2). Finish

Step1: Welcome

Restore the Previous Backup

System Files Backup and Restore assists in adding the previously taken backups on the same system into the existing Backup List. For this purpose, click on the "Restore Previous Backup" button.

After that, select the location where backups have been stored > click on the “Start” button.

You can see the import progress in the lower half of the screen.

During the import process, two cases might occur.

1). If the backup to be imported already exists in the Backup List, it will not be imported.

2). If the backup to be imported does not exist in the Backup List, it would be imported and added.

Once backups are imported to the Backup List, these can be restored if deemed necessary. But this should be done with full caution. Restoring unknown backups may prove fatal to the extent that Windows may need to be installed again.

Step2: Finish

Import Backup Summary

After successfully importing backups, the import summary shows the Import Details and Import Location.

To return to the Welcome screen, you may click on the “Finish” button and repeat the process.
