name and password. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete.
Recovering a file:
Click the File Recovery button on the main menu. Use the time slider on
the top of the popped out window to select a previous backup time. The
right pane will display the backed-up partitions in the backup destination
(in the My Backup folder). Browse to the file you want and copy it.
