      Aptik is a data migration tool. The restore process for “Home Data” section is all-or-nothing.
      Use a backup tool like Homi or Baqpaq if you want to backup and restore specific files and folders.

    Will a single-user license allow me to extract data from one computer then restore to another, or does the license only allow to backup and restore to the same computer?

      You can use the same licence on different machines.

    Also, is there a discount available for purchasing multiple apps at the same time?

      Currently there is no discount for purchasing multiple apps.
