I tried to test a restore, possibly dumping the files into another
directory but the option 'restore to original location' was greyed out
without any further drop down options. When I pressed restore, I was
offered to restore to the server, which I wasn't going to risk. I know I'm
sounding like a complete moron, but this is how it is!




It does look successful.  The true proof is whether you can restore it.
