Pre-flight checklist<\/h2>\n

Before starting, ensure you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have the location of where the backups are stored (either network path or local drive),
    \nIf this is a network share, you will need:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. UNC path (eg: \\\\<ip of device>\\<sharename>)<\/li>\n
    2. Username<\/li>\n
    3. Password
      \nThe UNC path and username can be retrieved from shadowprotect under “Destinations”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. The encryption password to the backups<\/li>\n
    5. The machine from which to perform the restoration from (needs to have shadowprotect software installed)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Process<\/h2>\n

      These steps detail how to restore some files or folders from a ShadowProtect backup.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open Windows explorer
        \n\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Browse to the folder containing the ShadowProtect backups on the local storage device. In this example, it’s a disk labelled “CyberSecure”
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. Right-click the appropriate backup (here we have selected the backup of the C:\\ volume from the 15th of September at 4:00PM) and choose “Quick Mount”<\/strong>
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      4. A windows drive letter will be assigned to the backup, in this case, “F: drive”
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      5. Now you can browse the F: drive backup as if it were a normal disk. We want to retrieve a file from the “Administrators download” folder, so we simply browse there
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      6. Right-click the file and choose “Copy”
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      7. Browse to your desired destination and choose “Paste”, this will retrieve the file from the backup and put it into a location of your choosing
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      8. We can now see that the file has been successfully restored from the backup
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      9. This process can be applied to entire folders as well as files.<\/li>\n
      10. When done, right-click the backup drive letter that was created and choose “Quick Dismount”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
