Finding your files after a backup
Simply browse to the location of the backup files (if required, connect the

files.
Restoring files from your backup
If you lose one or more files, or wish to transfer copies of your files to a
different computer (for extra security, or a new purchase), you may do so
by browsing to the location of your stored files (
select where you would

files to an external storage device, such as a USB hard disk drive, you
may connect this to any computer to find your files.
Depending on the options you have chosen, you may find several folders
in the backup location, each containing a different type of file. For
example, the
Documents folder will contain a copy of shared documents,
and Music will contain shared music files, while Documents
(C_Users_Example) and Music ( C_Users_Example ) contain files from a
user called Example (where Example would usually be your name, or the
name you gave your account on the computer).
Caution: Apart from copying these files and folders to restore
lost or damaged files, you should not change or rename them in
any way.
