Restoring Files and Folders from the Cloud Backup Control Panel
You can restore individual files or folders that were backed up to cloud storage. Alternatively, you can simultaneously restore all backed up files and folders, in order to roll back your disk contents to a previous point-in-time.
Note: If the same files already exist on your computer, they are overwritten with the files you selected for restoration. Files that have been deleted since the date of the selected files will be recreated.
