File Recovery Options in SPP

Client expects more innovative and easy to use features when it comes to file recovery in SPP. Customer expect modern software to be as easy to use as an iPhone!

Non Indexed VM:
It should be possible to recover files from a non-indexed VM. Function still needs to be innovative and easy but might be slower than indexed VM.

Indexed VM:
1) If customer choose “Restore file(s) to original location” and NOT “Overwrite existing Files/Folder”, file should be restored with for example date/time-stamp in the name.
2) No reason to choose target VM (Restore file(s) to alternative location) if restore file to same VM
3) Ability to browse what files to recovery
4) "Destination Folder" must be browseable
