The Backup Sets section of the Restore wizard allows you to choose which backup sets you want to use to restore the selected databases.

The backup sets listed in the main window can be reorganized by Type, Backup Set Name, Format, Date/Time, and Encryption.

How do you select Backup Sets?

For each database you have selected to restore, the backup set listing is populated with the available backup sets from the Repository. To restore more than one database, select a backup set for each database.

Select the specific backup set to restore by clicking the respective backup files from the list of Backup Set Names. Use the time slider to find your backup sets at specific points in time. 

You can also select a point in time to locate your backup sets. When you click Apply, all relevant backup sets are displayed. 

What are the encryption settings?

Use the option Encryption Settings for backup sets that were encrypted during its backup. Use this option to specify the encryption password.

How do you keep your restores running despite network errors?

Click Configure Resiliency to configure your Network Resiliency Settings and keep the restore operations running despite network errors. By default, SQL Safe will retry the restore operation every 10 seconds and then fail after 5 minutes (300 seconds) of continuous errors. Also, over the course of the operation, SQL Safe allows a total of 60 minutes in which to retry the restore before stopping the operation. You can configure these settings according to your requirements. 

Click NEXT to go to the Database Files section.
