5. CAUTION! Think carefully about the options on this page.
   
   Using the top section, You can Restore into this course (that the course you are currently in) or Restore into an existing course of yours. Select gives you the option to either to either Merge the backup course into course into this /existing course or Delete the contents of this /existing course and then restorethen click Continue. 
   
   1. Merge is a good option for protecting any existing materials and content in the course and simply adding your backup file materials. If you repeatedly merge the same backup in the same course, you will get multiple copies of every resource in the course.
   2. Delete will erase everything first and then restore the backup file so only the restored content remains.
      
      Make your choice, and click Continue.
