Recovering Data from the Cloud

When you need to recover data from the cloud to on-premises, you can use the Data Recovery wizard.  To restore data, you must have an existing Cloud Sync job that has been replicating that data.

Note: You can recover data from a running job—unless you plan to restore the data to the original location.  If so, you should stop the job first.

To recover data:

1.Open the Peer Management Center.

2.In the Jobs view, identify the Cloud Sync job that replicated the data you want to restore.

3.Right-click the job name, and then select Recover Volume/File(s) from the menu.

The Recovery Wizard opens and displays the Volume to Recover page.  The Storage Device field on the page is a read-only field that displays the name of the source storage platform.

4.Select the volume that was the source of the replicated data from the Volume drop-down list.
