When you restore most types of data using Backup, you are given the option to configure advanced restore options.
Note These options are not present in Exchange database restores.

You configure advanced restore options while performing a restore. To view the complete procedure for performing a restore, see Performing a Basic Restore.
To configure advanced restore options, in the Confirm Restore dialog box, click Advanced to open the Advanced Restore Options dialog box .

The Advanced Restore Options dialog box

The following table provides explanations of the options in Advanced Restore Options.

Advanced Restore Options Explanation

Restore security Restores security settings for each file and folder. Security settings include permissions, audit entries, and ownership. This option is available only if you have backed up data from an NTFS volume used in Windows 2000, and you are restoring that data to an NTFS volume used in Windows 2000.

Restore Removable Storage database Restores the Removable Storage database, which is stored in Systemroot\System32\Ntmsdata. If you are not using Removable Storage to manage storage media, you do not need to select this option. Also, selecting this option deletes your existing Removable Storage database.

Restore junction points, and restore file and folder data under junction points to the original location Restores junction points on your hard disk as well as the data to where the junction points point. If you do not select this check box, the junction points are restored, but the data your junction points point to may not be accessible. If you are restoring a mounted drive, and you want to restore the data that is on the mounted drive, you must select this check box. If you do not select this check box, you restore only the folder containing the mounted drive. When restoring replicated data sets, mark the restored data as the primary data for all replicasEnsures that restored File Replication service (FRS) data is replicated to your other servers. If you are restoring FRS data, select this option. If you do not select this option, the FRS data that you are restoring may not be replicated to other servers because the restored data will appear to be older than the data already on the servers. This causes the other servers to overwrite the restored data, thereby preventing you from restoring the FRS data.

Preserve existing volume mount points Prevents the restore operation from writing over any volume mount points you have created on the partition or volume to where you are restoring data. This option is primarily applicable when you are restoring data to an entire drive or partition. For example, if you are restoring data to a replacement drive, and you have partitioned and formatted the drive and restored volume mount points, select this option so your volume mount points are not restored. If you are restoring data to a partition or drive that you have just reformatted, and you want to restore the old volume mount points, do not select this option.
