Stored Settings

Stored Settings - Restore

This page only displays if Desktop Migration is installed.

The Stored Settings dialog box displays the set of local user accounts, system settings, application settings and files that have been stored in the source settings backup. This dialog box enables you to change the local user accounts, system settings, application settings, and files being restored. These changes apply only to the current restore, not to the source settings backup. By default the selected machine is the same machine used to create the stored settings, but a different machine can be selected.
