Introduction / Setup > Accra Backup Client Setup > Restoring Files

Using the web browser to restore files

Using a web browser connect to Accra Backup Server ( https://secure.accra.ca:8085). The URL in the address bar must be exactly what you see in the Remote Server URL when specifying backup parameters. Use your email address and the provided secure password to login. Once logged in, you will be displayed a remote file explorer containing files that are backed up on the server. Simply navigate to the file you want to restore and double click it to download. This option permits users to download backup files from anywhere in the world via a simple Internet connection.

Restoring encrypted files

When encryption is used, files residing on the server cannot be viewed or opened by anyone. Therefore, when you use a web-browser to download any file, they need to be decrypted manually once they have been downloaded. If you try to open the downloaded file without decrypting it first, you will get errors in the program that is trying to open it.

Use the following steps to decrypt files:

•Download encrypted file(s) using your browser

•Start the Backup client on the machine

•Click Encrypt/Decrypt files from the Tools menu

•Select Decrypt for Conversion type

•Specify the password you used for encryption

•Select the desired file

•Finally, click Start Processing
