You can restore a single file or groups of files using the same standard drag and drop or copy and paste methods that you use when transferring your files within Microsoft Windows My Computer or Explorer.


Restoring a file begins with finding the protection plan recovery point you want to explore. See Finding a Plan's Archive Times for more information.


Click on a protection plan name to highlight the recovery point and the "Explore" and "Restore" buttons will become active.


Click "Explore" and in a few moments a window will display your plan's data.


Navigate the data you archived in the same manner that you navigate data using Windows Explorer.


To restore using the drag and drop method, use your mouse to simply drag files from the Explore window to a folder location in My Computer or Explorer, or even just to your desktop.


Note - Right-clicking the selected files will open a menu of other options available.


Note - Security attributes when using drag/drop or copy/paste from the Point-in-Time Explorer are inherited from the destination folder. Use the "Restore" options, either by right-clicking files in the Point-in-Time Explorer and selecting "Restore" or by restoring a whole point in time by clicking the Restore button on the Explore page, to preserve original security information.
