The backup system will backup just your data files in a zip format that is compatible with any zip extraction program like WinZip. If the backup requires multiple disks, it will automatically ask for additional disks as needed. The restore process will restore/replace all files that are contained in the backup file. If it is necessary to restore a specific file, this can be done with a program like WinZip.
