   Parameter	Description
   Recovery Method	You can choose to restore by backup set or point in time. If you choose to restore by backup set, select a backup set for the source. If you choose to restore by point in time, select a restore point in time for the source.
   Backup Set	The backup set to be used for restore.
   Restore Point in Time	Select the point in time to which data is to be restored.
