Search by Name

Use the Search by Name option if you know any part of the name of a file or folder but don’t know which folder contained it on the original volume on premises.

To search by name:

1.Enter a search string in the Name field.

The search string can be a full or partial name and can include wildcards.  If you do not enter a search string, all files and folders will be listed in the search results.

3.Click Search.

A list of matching files and/or folders appears.  The Sync Date column shows the date the file was replicated; the Last Modified Date column shows the last known date and time that the file was changed on premises.

If you selected a folder to recover, you have two options.  You can recover the contents of the folder based on a snapshot that was previously taken, or you can recover the contents of the folder as it existed at a specific point in time.  Select one of the options, select a time, and then click elsewhere in the page.
