# File-level backup recovery

#### Xopero ONE allows you to easily restore data — an entire backup, selected directories, or individual files — to any location.

***

## Recovery process

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the restore view in [**XMS**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] using one of the following options:

#### **Option A**

1. Go to the **Devices** tab and click **Restore** next to the device whose data you want to recover. After selecting the device you want to restore, choose the plan containing the data you want to recover from the **Backup plans** drop-down menu.

{% hint style="info" %}
At the bottom of the aside, you can see which **agent** is being used to access the storage. To change the device, click **Change**. Ensure the selected device has access to the storage.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In **Restore settings** section, you will find three additional options that can be enabled for the restoration process:

1. **Overwrite existing data** — determines whether existing files in the restore directory should be replaced with the restored ones.
2. **Restore files permissions** — restores the original file permissions.
3. **Reduce bandwidth** — limits network usage during the restore process.
