4.8. Recovery of Files and Folders
There are three common situations that may require recovery of files or
folders:
•
Accidental file deletion, the most common situation.
•
Accidental file replacement, which may occur if a user selects Save
instead of Save As.
•
File corruption.
It is possible to recover from all of these scenarios by accessing shadow
copies. There are separate steps for accessing a file compared to accessing
a folder.
As documented previously, the use of the snapshots are from the network
and are based on shares created on the NAS appliance.
4.8.1. Recovering Deleted Files or Folders
To recover a deleted file or folder within a folder:
1.
Navigate to the folder where the deleted file was stored (on the NAS
appliance).
2.
Position the cursor over a blank space in the folder. If the cursor
hovers over a file, that file will be selected.
3.
Right-click the mouse and select
Properties
from the bottom of the
menu. Select the
Previous Versions
tab.
4.
Select the version of the folder that contains the file before it was
deleted, and then click
View
.
5.
View the folder and select the file or folder to recover. The view may
be navigated multiple folders deep.
6.
Select
Restore
to restore the file or folder to its original location.
Selecting
Copy…
will allow the placement of the file or folder to a
new location.
