Restore ACLs: This option does not have any effect for SharePoint. Force Overwrite: If the check box is selected, instead of a merge, any file already in the directory that also has a file or stub in the restore or recovery scope will be replaced.

Select the Export non-DB Medatadata Fields option to restore all properties of the item. Prune Empty Folders: If the check box is selected, empty folders are not created during the restore. Remove Linked-Based Stubs: This option only applies to files being recovered to a File server. If the check box is selected, any restored file with a Linked-Based stub file in the directory will have the Linked-Based stub removed when the original file is restored. This setting is only needed when Linked-Based stubs exist. Remove Html Stubs: This option only applies to files being recovered to a File server. If the check box is selected, any file that is restored and has an HTML stub file in the directory will have the HTML stub removed when the original file is restored. This setting is only needed when HTML stubs exist. Suppress 'Removed From Source' Content: The check box is selected by default. Contact the Veritas Support team if want to change the configuration. It does not restore the data that has been deleted from the source. Remove Offline Attribute from Non-Stubs: This will find any files that are offline but not reparse points and remove the offline attribute. This is useful when certain applications trigger a restore but the offline attribute is not removed.
