The Online Restore Wizard offers several ways for selecting objects: you can browse the directory tree, search for objects by name, or use an import file that specifies the objects you want to select.
Start the Online Restore Wizard and follow the instructions in the wizard.
On the Objects to Be Processed page, click Add, and then complete the steps related to the action you want to perform, see the Searching, browsing for, or importing objects section below.
To specify whether to process child objects, on the Processing Options page, under Child objects processing, select one of the following options:
Process no child objects. Processes only the objects you have selected
Process all child objects. Processes the objects you have selected along with all objects they contain
Process child objects of selected types. Processes the objects you have selected along with some objects they contain. You can use this option to restrict the operation scope by selecting object types. For example, you might want the wizard to process only user objects within the selected containers. Click Select Object Types and specify the types of child objects you want the wizard to process.
Follow the instructions to complete the wizard.

When preparing an import file, you must escape reserved characters by prefixing such characters with a backslash (\). The reserved characters that must be escaped include:
; < > \ " + ,
