Restore to Default
The Restore to Default area allows the Administrator to perform a restore on the My Cloud device.
Perform one of the following options to restore your system:
System Only
: Reverts system settings to their default values, but retains user data and shares.
Quick Restore
: Reverts all settings to their default values, erases all user data and shares, and
retains default shares. Quick Restore creates a new file table on the device, but does not fully
overwrite or erase the drive, so data recovery programs can be used to restore user data and
shares.
Full Restore
: Reverts all settings to their default values, deletes all user data and shares
permanently, and retains default shares. Data recovery programs cannot be used to restore
data; all user data and shares, with the exception of the default shares, are permanently deleted.
Note:
To erase all of the data on your device, see
.

activity and transfers may be interrupted.
Important:
Before doing a factory restore or a system update, you may choose to save your
device’s current configuration. At a later time, you can import a previously saved
configuration. Keep in mind that importing a configuration after restoring factory
defaults does not restore shares or users. See “Saving a Configuration File” on
page 88,” to create or restore a configuration file.
