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 that if the same files already exist on your computer, they will be overwritten with the files you selected for restoration. Files that have been deleted since the date of the selected files will be recreated. Files that exist on your computer, but which do not exist in cloud storage or were not selected for restoration, will not be affected.
To restore files, the cloud storage gateway must be connected to the CTERA Portal.
