How to restore an application that you have uninstalled

If you have uninstalled an application using the installation monitor, and if you have checked the backup option in the uninstall options, then you have a backup of the application. You can use this backup to fully restore the application.

Let's say you want to restore an application from a backup created this way. Please right click on the installation monitor system tray icon to access the system tray menu:

In this menu, please select "Restore an application from backup".

• Select backup - shows you the list of available backups. You can select a backup and press the Next button to restore it.
• Restore options - in this step of the wizard you choose restore options such as: full or custom restore, whether to delete the backup after the restore, etc.
• The custom restore step - shows you a list of items (files, folders, shortcuts, registry entries, INI file entries, etc) that are about to be restored and allows you to specify exactly which items you want to restore. This step only appears if you check the custom restore option in the Restore options step.
• The progress step - this step appears when the restore wizard is reading the backup file and preparing to restore the application. It shows you progress information.
• The restore step - performs the restore. That is, it extracts the files, folders, registry entries, shortcuts, etc, from the backup archive and installs them back on your computer, taking care that they are put back correctly, in the right order, and that everything is ok.
• The final step - reports to you about how the restore went and shows you how many items of each type it has restored.
