Restoring Files from Backup

You can easily restore data backed up by Seagate Dashboard to your system. Seagate
Dashboard maintains multiple versions of each file it backs up, so you can restore the most
recent version or a previous version.
To restore a file from a backup:
1. On the Seagate Dashboard Home screen, click Protect.
2. On the Protect screen, click Restore Files.
A list of active backup plans displays.
3. Click Search for Backups to display backup plans. Select the backup plan that has the file
that you want to restore.

If the file was saved on Seagate Central, Seagate Dashboard maintains earlier versions of
the file, so you can select the most recent version or a previous version. If the file is saved in
Cloud Storage, only the most recent version is available.
