    If you restore a file to a location that already contains a file of the same name, you’ll be asked to choose one of the following:


    • Copy and Replace: The file currently in the original location will be replaced by the file restored from backup.

    • Don't Copy: The backed up version isn’t restored. Nothing changes.

    • Copy, But Keep Both Files: The original file will stay as is, and the restored file will include (2) in the filename.

    • Do This for All Conflicts: Select this check box if you’re restoring multiple files and want to apply the same choice to each duplicate filename.

    • Click the link to view restored files.
    • Click Finnish to close the dialog box.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
