Back Up And Restore

[Leslie]

Hi there,

First of all I would like to thank you for creating such a wonderful software. Its simplicity and easy of use is what I liked the most.

I do have a question-

1. During restoration, is there a possibility the newly installed Minarca client can connect to an existing repo on the server without overwriting the data and offer an option to restore files? 

Eg. let's say the machine on which I was running Minarca client died on me and I had to replace the hdd and reinstall the OS. Now when I install the client, I cannot use the same name to connect to the server as it keeps throwing an error stating "repo with similar name already exist". What I am looking for is a way to connect the client to an existing backup and then restore files on the newly restored machine. I know I can get the files via Web URL of the server, but for me it will be convenient if the client can browse thru the existing data on the server and give an opportunity to restore the files I want.

2. Is there a way to connect a machine(which was rebuilt due to h/w failure) with a similar name to an existing repo and continue backing up data from where it left off last time and not create a new repo? 

Thanks and have a nice day!
