   Ignore recovery point corruption during recovery (potential data loss)	Automatically excludes the corrupted data and continues to restore the recovery point. The restored data does not contain the corrupted portion of data. Note: There may be potential data loss as corrupted data is excluded from restore. The Ignore recovery point corruption during recovery (potential data loss) option is only available from Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 (version 11.1.5 and later). For the earlier versions of Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2, if you select this option, the Do not verify recovery point before recovery option is applied.
   Verify recovery point before recovery	Determines whether a recovery point is valid or corrupt before it is recovered. If the recovery point is corrupt, the recovery process is discontinued. This option significantly increases the time that is required for the recovery to complete. However, it ensures that the recovery point being restored is valid.
   Do not verify recovery point before recovery	Does not verify whether a recovery point is valid or corrupt before it is recovered. During recovery, if there is corrupted data on the recovery point, an error message is displayed and you cannot recover the recovery point.
   Check for file system errors	Lets you check the recovered drive for errors after the recovery point is restored.
   Use the computer's latest recovery point	Lets you use the computer's most recent recovery point.
   Use the computer's latest recovery point available on or before the specified date	Lets you use a computer's recovery point based on the date it was created. If the recovery point is not available (deleted) at the primary destination, the Offsite Copy destination is checked for the same recovery point. If the recovery point is found, then the express recovery task is performed. Otherwise, the task fails.
   Use the selected recovery point	Lets you use the recovery point that you have selected.
   Display recovery points from local and network Offsite locations	Lets you display recovery points from an Offsite Copy destination within a backup policy. Or, you have configured a dedicated Offsite Copy location. See About Offsite Copy. Select the recovery point that you want to restore. If the recovery point is password-protected, enter the correct password in the field.

5. Click OK.
6. Do one of the following:

   To run the task one time as soon as possible after the task is saved	Click Now.
   To run the task at a specific time or multiple times	Click Schedule, and then set one of the following schedule options: In the list, select At date/time, and then specify the date and time and how often the schedule repeats. In the drop-down list, select Shared Schedule, and then select a shared schedule to use or create a new one to use.

7. Do one or more of the following:

   • In the Quick add drop-down list, select a computer to add to the list of computers to which the schedule applies.

   • Click Add to add the computers to which the schedule applies.

     You can select computers individually and by target.

     When you select computers by target, it usually requires less maintenance than by individual computer. If the computers to which you want a schedule to apply are in a target, there is no need to change the schedule. The target membership changes. You get the most flexibility when you add computers individually. You can add any computer, regardless of how your targets are organized. In many situations, you can use a combination of targets and individual computers.

8. Click Schedule at the bottom of the page.
9. Double-click the description in the Task Status table to review a detailed summary of the task's progress.
