By default, the latest data and configuration of the client computer, backed by the default backup set, will be used to restore the client computer. However, you can restore the client using the data and client configuration backed up at any point-in-time.
You can create a backupset to backup data and configuration for the 1-Touch recovery. This will be useful when you want to backup only selected data on the client computer and restore it during 1-Touch recovery.
Limitation: When you run 1-Touch Recovery for a backup set, you cannot restore data backed up using block-level backups. To restore block level data, you must perform a separate restore operation.
