File-level backup recovery

In this article, you will learn how to restore data from a file-level backup.

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


Recovery process

1

Open the restore view in 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.

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.

Option B

  1. Go to the Storages tab, select the storage containing the backup data, and click the folder 📂icon to browse the storage.

  1. Select the device whose data you want to restore. Then, choose the backup plan and review the information about the agent used to connect to the storage.

After selecting the appropriate device and backup plan, the system will display the Backup copies section — here, you can choose the backup version you want to restore. Click the desired date, then select Restore.

3

The Select data to restore section displays a tree structure of directories and files. You can select specific directories or individual files to restore by marking the checkboxes next to them. To restore the selected data, click Restore selected. If you want to restore all items included in the backup plan, click Restore all.

4

In the Data to restore section, you can modify the previously selected data that will be included in the restore process. To change or add data, click the Edit button.

The Restore to section allows you to define the destination for the restore process—here, you can select any device that is assigned to the Xopero ONE platform as the target location for your restored data.

In Restore directory section you can specify the exact location where the data will be restored. You can choose to restore it to the original directory or select a new directory.

7

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.

Double-check your configuration and click the Start now button to begin the recovery process.
