You are now able to select data to restore and kick off a client side restore process remotely with our Remote Manager.
Select the computer that you want to restore data to from the remote manager table, and click on the ‘Restore’ button in the Controls column on the right hand side of the table. This opens a Remote Restore interface similar to what is displayed in the local client GUI that allows you to select restorable data from that computer, and kick off a client side restore of that data to your chosen restore folder path on that client’s disk.
This feature requires that you have Multi-Factor Authentication enabled in the Web Console. If you do not, it will prompt you to set up MFA before you can use the Remote Restore Feature.
Under the 'Available to Restore' section, you have an expanding tree showing the folders and files that are available for restore. Clicking the "+" button to the right of a folder or file will add it to the backup selections. This will add the file/folder to the 'Restore Queue' section. Multiple files and folders can be selected this way, and be restored at the same time. You can also make use of the search bar to search for specific files or folders within the Available to Restore data set. *Due to some size constraint limitations with performing restores remotely, you may receive an error saying that you have too many selected files for the restore operation. You may need to deselect some of the files and perform multiple remote restores operations in order to get all of the files you want to restore. Alternatively, you may be able to consolidate your restore list size by selecting the parent folder of multiple files instead of selecting each file individually.
If a folder is selected, by default it will restore all of the subfolders. If you only want to restore the files in that specific folder, toggle the "Subfolders" option.
If you want to remove a restore selection, click the red "X" button to the right of the selection in the 'Restore Queue'.
In addition to selecting what files and folders to restore, you can select the timeframe of when to restore from. Data to restore can be selected based off when it was backed up or last modified, as well as from before or after the specified date.
You can also select to "Restore every version" of a file. Because this can cause multiple files with the same name to be restored to the same folder, the original backup date and modify date are appended to the file name.
The location the restore is done to can be changed by clicking the ellipses button ("...") at the end of the 'Restore Location' setting; you can also manually type the path if desired.
Once everything has been selected, click the "Restore Data" button to begin the restore process.
If a local backup vault has been enabled (on the Client's Backup > Settings page) then the client will try to restore from the local backup folder first, and if it can't find a file, it will then pull it down from a remote server.
