Plain Text

The backup you are browsing is encrypted. Searching this backup is not allowed by the backup plan.

As you can see, loading the list of files present in a backup folder may take longer when the backup is encrypted.
Hence the "Loading" message appears for a while.

The beginning of the file list will appear and you will see a warning "List is incomplete - Choose action" appear at the top right.

If you click on this warning, you will be given the choice between "Refresh now" and "Wait for full list".

Once the full list is available, you will be able to see the full list of files present in the desired folder.
