Using StorageSync to Restore Data
After you use StorageSync to back up files and directories, you can use the procedure in this
chapter to restore the data from the media drive to your computer’s hard drive. StorageSync
provides the flexibility of restoring individual and multiple files and directories. For added
versatility, you can restore files and folders to their original location on your computer’s hard
drive or another location that you specify. If you have multiple versions of a file, you can also
tell StorageSync to restore the newest version or a version that you specify.
When you restore data, you can configure StorageSync to overwrite files on the media drive
with like-named files on your computer’s hard drive without confirmation or to restore only
newer files from the media drive. StorageSync also gives you the option of saving the restore
results to a log.
Data Restore Procedure
The following procedure describes how to restore data backed up with StorageSync. For
detailed information about a particular step, refer to the section referenced in the step.
If you intend to replace files on the computer’s hard drive, be sure those files are
not being accessed by another application before you start the restore operation.
1.
To your computer, attach the removable media drive that contains the data to be restored.
2.
From the Welcome window or a secondary window, click the RESTORE button. The
Restore window appears (see Figure 20).
