I believe ArcServe does - I used it a LONG time ago and that's how I remember it working.

<br />
No, it's not.

Maybe not newer versions as I haven't used them, but I distinctly remember ArcServe 2000 did. &nbsp;Though frankly, I don't see why they would change it.<br />
<br />
Let me ask you this, why are you doing incrementals and not differentials? &nbsp;Much easier to restore.

Arcserve comes close, but still, the user has to select the media. In &quot;restore by tree&quot;, once I select the directory, I can press button &quot;version history&quot;, and that will show the list of backup sessions where this directory was backed up. So, if in the directory D on day one I had file1 and file2; backed up D in session1; then deleted file2 and added file3, and again backed up D in session2; then on restore, I will be able to choose either session1, or session2. If I choose session1, I will see file1 and file2; if session2, then file1 and file3. But what I'd like to see is all 3 files at once - which is not possible. This might be achieved by multiple selection of sessions, but alas, it's not allowed.<br />
<br />
Another method is restore by query - specify the file name, and it will find all backups with it. But here I have to know the name of the file, which is not always the case. This is probably the closest approach to what I'm looking for, but still it would be much more convenient to see the &quot;cumulative tree&quot; of all files ever backed up.<br />
<br />
As for the type of backup - it does not really matter. It can be even full backup every time - as long as the backed up files are cataloged, the software knows about them. I'm just looking for &quot;restore by tree&quot; where the tree would be cumulatively built basing on all cataloged sessions.

take a look at Acronis True Image workstation, i think it meets the requirements. <br />

I tried acronis workstation, but during the restore, I have to select archive location, and on the next step I have to select the specific archive, which is exactly what I want to avoid; and multiple selection is not possible.

Thanks Tivoly SM indeed shows exactly what I was looking for. Might be perfect solution hadn't it been written in Java.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Could someone recommend backup software that during restoring would show me the tree of backed up files, cumulative for all backup sessions, and for each file I would see the list of its versions available for restore?<br />
<br />
For example, I have file A. I make full backup on 1/1 and then daily incremental backups. On 1/3 the file is changed, so backup includes it in the incremental backup. On 1/10 I want to restore it, so I want to see file A in the directory tree where I choose what to restore, and I want to see that there are 2 versions of it, one saved on 1/1 and another saved on 1/3.<br />
<br />
This seems to me like the most logical UI, however so far I have not seen any backup software title working this way on restore. Either I see the the tree of my today's files to restore (but what if I want to restore the file that I deleted), or I can restore by backup session - so I have to look in each session, if my file is there or not; plus, I can't restore several files from different sessions.<br />
<br />
Does anybody know a software that would show me the restore dialog I described?

Looking for backup software

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
