Only nodes to which the administrator hasauthority appear.3. Expand the NAS node to display the File Level object.4. Expand the File Level object to display the volumes, directories, and files thatwere last backed up. When you expand the volume object, and complete TOCinformation is available on the server for the latest backup, the Load Table ofContents dialog appears. If complete TOC information is not available for thelatest backup, no objects appear below the volume object. The next stepexplains how to display objects from backups other than the latest backup.Complete TOC information is provided if you performed either of thefollowing operations: (1) A differential image backup with TOC informationand its corresponding full image backup with TOC information, or (2) A fullimage backup with TOC information.5.
