Recover using the recovery toolbox

You can select files from different views in the Active@ UNDELETE workspace and collect them in the Recovery Toolbox. To select files, select the check box next to the file name in Recovery Explorer, Document View or Search Results view. To remove files from the Recovery Toolbox, clear the check box in these three views.

You may recover the collection of files and folders in the Recovery Toolbox all at once. There are two methods for recovering files:

• Recover files to a hard disk.
• Recover files to a CD or DVD.
