Click on the [Advanced] button, select the [Resolve Link] checkbox to enable the resolve link option.
Note that the resolve link option is only available when the restore destination is configured to [Alternate location], and [Resolve Link] must be used in conjunction with the [Follow Link] option.
When the resolve link option is enabled, the junction point would be restored, and directories and files that the junction point links to will also be restored.
The following table summarizes the outcome when a restore is performed with different options.
