Restoring data locally

You can restore an entire data set, a specific folder, or just an individual file. The data can be copied back to the original location or to a new location.

To restore data from a local backup:

1.	In the Icon panel, click Backup.

2.	Select a backup set from the drop-down box, then click Restore Now.

The Restore setup wizard opens.

3.	Enter your restore criteria in each screen, as described in the following table. Click Next or Back to move between the screens.

 

Restoring data from a local backup
Step 1: Select Restore Point	Select from the list of backups.
Step 2: Select Location for Recovered Files	Determine if you want files restored to their original location (default location) or to a new location. If you select New location, you are prompted to enter a folder name.
Step 3: Select Files to Restore	Select the folders and files you want restored. (Items with unchecked boxes are not included in the restore.) You can expand the list of folders by clicking on the plus sign to the left of the folder names.
Step 4: Restore Options	If desired, set these additional restore options: Overwrite existing files: Select whether you want files to be overwritten or if you want the Webroot software to open a prompt before overwriting files. Restore thread priority: In most cases, you should leave this settings at “Normal.” Changing the priority for threads can make the restore function run faster or slower (depending on whether you raise or lower the priority), but it can also adversely affect the performance of other processes running on your computer. Other options: • Set current date and time for restored files: Select this checkbox to stamp files with the date and time of the restore process. • Restore files preserving their security settings: Select this checkbox if you want the files to maintain any special security settings you may have set. (To view a file’s security settings, locate the file name in Windows Explorer, right-click on the file name and select Properties, then click the Security tab in the Properties dialog.)

4.	When you’re done, click Next.

A dialog window opens and shows the progress of the recovery.
