Recovering a Backup
The Recover section enables you to restore your data from a backup to a factory-fresh
My Cloud device.
Important: Make sure the replacement My Cloud device is new or is in factory fresh
state. (See "System Factory Restore" on page 65.) The capacity of the
replacement device must be the same or larger than the backup you
created.
1. Open the dashboard of a factory fresh unit.
