Restoring files from a snapshot
Every snapshot is a complete picture of a folder at a point in time. Restoring never overwrites your current files unless you tell it to.
Restoring a file or folder
- Open Snapshots and select the protected folder.
- Pick a snapshot from the list — snapshots are listed by date, with size and file count.
- Browse or search inside it to find what you need.
- Click Restore and choose where to put it. Restoring to a new folder is the safest option when you are unsure.
Mounting instead of restoring
Use Mount to open a snapshot as a read-only drive and copy files out with your normal file manager. This is the quickest way to retrieve one or two files without restoring a whole folder.
Choosing the right point in time
If a file was corrupted or encrypted by ransomware, pick a snapshot from before the problem started, not the most recent one. The size and file-count charts help — a sudden change in either often marks when things went wrong.
Restoring to a different computer
Install the app on the new machine and sign in with the same account. Your snapshots are already there.
