File Restore

To restore files from file backup restore points, please go to Physical Backup > File Backup > Restore page. There are 4 steps to restore files from the file backup restore points.

Step 1: Restore Point

First you need to select a backup agent and a desired restore point from the Select Restore Point column. Then select the desired files/folders from the Restore Source column. You can choose select directories and search under selected directories for more precise and efficient recovery to save your time.

When done selecting files/folders, click on Next button to continue.

Notice

If the file backup data had been encrypted, when selecting the restore point, you’ll be asked to provide the encryption password. Only if you provide the correct encryption password then you can continue to restore the files with the encrypted file backups.

Step 2: Restore Destination

First you need to specify the destination for the selected files/folders to be restored to File server or NAS server. Then please select the backup agent. You can search agent name for quick match selection. If the Restore Path is selected as “Manually select path”, check the specified disk/folder to restore the data to the corresponding path. As shown in the figure below, hover the mouse over ‘(C:)’ and click the ‘+’ on the right can create a new folder.

The defult name of the new folder is “recovery-destination1”, which can be modified or deleted. For windows system, the file name cannot contain ‘< > / \ | : * ?’.

If the Restore Path is selected as “Recover to the original path”, the data will be overwritten and restored to the original path, all files with the same name under the original path will be overwritten and restored, and the newly created files will be kept unmodified. Then please click on Next to continue.

Notice

Only when the recovery source and destination are of the same operating system can the recovery path be selected as ‘Restore to the original path’.

Step 3: Restore Strategy

The restore strategies including Speed Controller, Transfer Threads, Encrypted Transfer and Transmission Network, these options are with the same principle as when you setup the file backup job.

Step 4: Review & Confirm

After finishing the above settings, you are able to review and confirm all settings here. Click Submit to confirm creating this job.

Once the job has been created, you’ll be redirected to the Monitor Center > Jobs page.

As the file restore job is by default to be executed right after the creation of the job, so it will run automatically, when you see it in the current job list, it should be in running status already, and once completed, the job will be automatically deleted from the current job list.

After this you can browse the restored files/folders from the selected file server/NAS server and the selected path.
