Specifying Selection Criteria

Here are some suggestions on how to specify selection criteria to limit the number of files displayed so that you can quickly and easily identify the files you want to restore.

• Specify a filename and filetype whenever you ask CA VM:Backup to search a wide date range.
• Specify a limited date range whenever you do not specify a filename and filetype.
• Ask CA VM:Backup to list only the most recently backed-up versions of your files instead of every copy of every file backed up within the specified time period.
