Restoring Files

File restoration is accomplished either by a web browser or using the Backup client.

 

Restoring

Restoring Files - You can either restore the entire profile or selectively pick the file(s) you want to restore. The client program automatically handles decrypting files if they were backed up using encryption. Clicking on a file or folder will restore only that file or folder and all sub-folders, while right clicking on the profile and hitting restore will restore the entire profile.

 

 

Restoring An Entire Profile

Follow the steps below to restore an entire profile

Select the profile you want to restore. If you do not have the profile on this machine, try creating a new profile with the same name. Profile names are case-sensitive. When a new profile is created, it won't contain any folders on the left hand side. This is okay.  Go to the Folder/File Selection screen and right click the folder area to display the pop up menu.  Select the Restore option and the Entire Profile option.
