Restoring Data from the GUI

You can restore specific files, a group of files with similar names, or directories. You can locate the files you want to restore by searching and filtering. Filtering displays only the files that match the filter criteria for your restore operation. Files that do not match the filter criteria do not display. The filter process searches files in the specified directory but does not include subdirectories.

To restore files, directories, or images perform the following steps:

  1. Click Restore on the main window. The Restore window appears.
