How to manage objects in Backup using the application interface

You can use the application interface to take the following actions on Backup objects:

  • View information about objects placed in Backup on the device.
  • Restore objects from Backup to their original directories.
  • Remove objects from Backup.

    Deleted objects cannot be restored in the future.

Information about restoring and deleting objects is saved to the event log.

To view objects in Backup:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the lower part of the main application window, click the Backup button.

    This opens the Backup window, displaying a list of objects placed in Backup. The following information is displayed for each object:

    • Object name.
    • Full path to an object.
    • The date when the object was added to Backup.
    • The date when the object was deleted from Backup (this field is displayed if Backup retention period is set).
    • Object size.

To restore an object from Backup:

  1. Open the main application window.
