Hello,

with option -inactive, you get all backup versions (active and all
previous which are inactive). You can choose the one you restore (from
GUI or with -pick option for Netware).

with option -latest, you restore directly the latest backup version.
This will be the active one if the file still exists on the client or
the last one (inactive one) if the file has been deleted from the
client.
