Recovery Options

After you select the data to recover, the Recover To page appears.

1.Select the recovery location.  You have two options:

Another Location - Enter the UNC path to a location on another storage device.

Original Location - Browse to a location on the device hosting the management agent.  However, we recommend not restoring directly to the original location, especially if the job is currently running.  If the version that is restored is older than the latest version in the destination storage, the restored version will not be backed up until the next scan.
