2.	Click Restore Now either from the Main screen or from the Backup tab.

The Restore setup wizard opens.

Restoring data from an online backup
Step 1: Search Backup Points	Locate a backup set that contains files or folders you want restored. Dates shown in bold are when backups were performed. If you search by date, the Webroot software locates backups performed on or before the date you selected. To limit the results, you can also search by file size, file type, or a specific file name.
Step 2: Select Items to Restore	Select what folders or files you want recovered. (Items with unchecked boxes are not included in the recovery.)
Step 3: Select Location for Recovered Files	Determine where you want files recovered. You can accept Webroot’s default folder or enter a new one. Specify recovery options, as follows: • To restore files to the default location, leave the Default location checkbox selected. • If you want files restored to a folder other than the default location shown, select New location. Enter a new directory or click the browse button to select a new directory. If you want to save this new location as the default, be sure to select the Save this new location as my Default location checkbox. • If you want to append the directory structure of the original backup to this new location, select the Include original path checkbox. For example, if the directory of the original backup was C:\mystuff\ and you specify C:\backups\ as the new location, the restore process saves data to C:\backups\mystuff\.

4.	When you’re done, click Finish.

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