Restore

There are two types of restore:

Single file

Selecting the file

Expand the filesystem tree until you get to the file you need to restore.

Click on the gear located on the right of the file name.

File to restore

The inspector will then display a set of information relative to the file to restore.

All available versions of the file to restore will be displayed.

Version to restore

Restore

Clicking on the "Display" button located at the right of the version to restore will download it in a cache and open it with the associated application.

Your file is now available and you can save it in its original location.

This operation requires a variable time depending on the file size and the throughput of your connection to the data storage servers.

Data set

Data selection

Expand the tree until you reach the data you want to restore.

Select each file or folder by clicking the check box to the left of the name.

Folder selection

Restorable data display is linked to the chosen restore date. If you already have chosen a specific restoration date, this can have an impact on the data that will be presented as restorable.

Destination location

Below the data selection is the restore location.

By default, the data is restored to its original location.

If you want to change the destination location:

Specific location

Date of data

Below the restore location is the restore date. This date allows you to restore a file as it was on a precise date.

By default, the data is restored to its last known state.

If you want to change the target date for your restored data, you have two options:

Using the Timeline:

Using the calendar :

Choose the time

A date change displays the status of the files as they were at the selected time.

If a dataset is grayed out and crossed out, it means that it did not exist on the selected date.

Restore

Click on the "Restore" button and the data restore will begin.

This operation requires a variable time depending on the file size and the throughput of your connection to the data storage servers.

Caution! Data status:

The data evolves over time. One of the roles of the backup solution is to historicalize these changes. This allows you to return to a precise state of the data when you need it.

Deleting a file or directory is a status change, saved in the same way as other changes.

Therefore, a deleted file before its backup and restored to its latest version would not restore the deleted file.

In this case, it is necessary to revert to an earlier version of the file, in accordance with your retention rules, if you want to restore an exploitable version.

This may seem confusing but, when restoring a directory in its last known state, it restores only the files present during the last backup.
