Restore Backed-Up Files
This guide shows you how to use AllSync to restore backed-up files from a data mirroring operation to their original location.1. Create a Profile for Restoration
- Create a copy of the profile you normally use for data mirroring.
2. Swap Source and Destination Folders
- Open the copied profile.
- Select Folders from the menu.
- Click the 'Swap all source and destination folders' button in the toolbar above the source folder list.
- Enable the checkboxes in front of the source and destination folders in both lists.
- Example: If the original profile used C:\Data as the source folder and D:\Backup as the destination folder, the copy should now use D:\Backup as the source and C:\Data as the destination.
- Save the settings using the OK button.
3. Create Copy Preview
- Select the copied profile from the profile list.
- Click Action in the menu bar above the profile list and then 'Create copy preview without action icons'.
- In the left table of the report, you will now see the backed-up files (the source for restoration).
- In the right table of the report, you will see the files at their original location (the destination for restoration).
4. Select Files to Restore
- Right-click on a file in the left table of the report that you want to restore.
- Select the Copy command from the context menu.
- Repeat this process for each file you want to restore.
5. Start Restoration
