To restore a previous Mozy backup:
STEP 1
Choose
Backup > Mozy Backup > Restore
. The
Restore
window opens. From
this window, you can restore specific files.
Other restore options are also available from this window. Use these options when
the data being restored is a very large amount or if the NAS is unavailable for some
reason such as, damage to the NAS due to fire, flood, or hardware failure.
For an example of a large restore where these might be good options, take into
consideration that you can restore approximately 450 MB of data per hour on a
1 Mbps connection. If you are attempting to restore 250 GB on a 2 Mbps downlink,
you would be faced with 11.5 days of connection time to restore all that data. It is a
better option to have the restore DVDs sent to you using overnight mail.
