Backup Manager
Displays a list of previously created WinHex backups. The items can be listed in a chronological or alphabetical order. Choose the backup you would like to restore. When that function completes, the original file or sector contents is shown.
You can restore the backup
into a temporary file first such that you will still need to save it,
directly and immediately to the disk, or
to a new file.
In the case of disk sectors you may also wish to specify a different destination disk or a different destination sector number. It is also possible to only extract a subset of the sectors from the backup. (However, sectors at the beginning of a compressed backup cannot be left out during restoration.) If the backup was saved with a checksum and/or a digest, data authenticity is verified before the sectors will be directly written to the disk.
The backup manager also allows to delete backups which you do not need any longer. Backups that were created for internal use by the Undo command can be deleted by WinHex automatically (cf. Undo Options).
Backup files that are maintained by the Backup Manager are located in the folder specified in the General Options dialog. Their filenames are "xxx.whx" where xxx is a unique three-digit identification number. This number is displayed in the last column of the backup manager list.
