Import Backups

For the storages to be added, if once they had been used by Vinchin Backup & Recovery, no matter for backup, copy or archive purpose, the data should still remain on them. When you try to add them again, the data will be automatically recognized by Vinchin Backup Server.

The imported backup data should be assigned to a user from the Resources > Storage > Storage List page by clicking on the Manage Imported Backups button. By selecting the corresponding backup job, and click on Assign button, you are able to assign the backup data to the selected user from the popup dialog.

If you only import the data without assigning to any user, those data will not be visible to anyone.

Once the backup data had been assigned to a user, the user will be able to see the backup data and create restore jobs with those data.
