Existing File Handling

Tells DPX how to behave if it finds a file at the destination with the same name as the file that it is restoring.

Skip Existing Files and Directories

Does not write over the existing file or directory if it has the same name as the one being restored.

Replace Existing Files

Restores the file to a temporary file, ensures that the restore is successful, and then writes over the existing file with the like-named file being restored.

Replace Existing Files and Directories

For existing directories, restores directory characteristics only, such as date, time, and owner. For existing files, restores file to a temporary file, ensures that the restore is successful, then writes over the existing file with the like-named file being restored.

Delete Existing Files Before Restore

Deletes the existing file before restoring the like-named file. Use this option when disk space limitations prohibit using Replace Files.

Rename Restored Files

Renames the file being restored to a name derived from the existing file. On NTFS and UNIX, DPX appends .R01 to the filename. If filename.R01 exists, DPX uses .R02 and so on. On FAT, a file extension of R01 is used. For example, file ABCD.TXT is restored as ABCD.R01. If ABCD.R01 exists, ABCD.R02 is used, and so on.
