History shows data which is backed up or downloaded with the help of the remaining functions from the machine and the account you are logged in to at the time. With the help of History you are able to restore basic files or folders from the machine you are logged in to. This is shown in a calendar, where you are able to see the history of backup copying of the different files. In this window you can access files as they appeared on a given date.
Here, you are able to retrieve versions of files that you have backed up during the previous 30 days. This can be useful, for example, when you have made changes to a document but find out later that you need some of the content you had in the old version after all.
To open the history window, simply click on the History button in the toolbar. The window will show you the status of all of the files that you have backed up to date and you can open single folders to view their content by clicking on the plus-icon next to them. If you wish to navigate to a file in the form it was some time ago, you can select a specific date in the 'calendar' line at the top of the window. Please note that the red line marks the date for which you are currently viewing the information. Another way to change the date is to enter it directly into the date/time field above the calendar line.
Note! If you choose to go back in
time, all your folders will be shown in the window. If it had not yet
been created at the date you are currently viewing, it will still be displayed
but you will find that it is empty.
.If you click on Refresh,
the window will return to the current date and time again.
.The Zoom
button changes the 'calendar' line to displaying hours instead of days.
.Use Search
History to find and download files and folders based on search
criteria you define. Read more in the section
Searching for files
and folders.
The procedure for restoring single files to an earlier or the latest accessible version is described below.
How to restore a file or task via the History function
Click on the History button in the toolbar.
Choose a date from the date/time field at the top of
the window. Here, you can either write in a date or select one from the
drop-down menu. If you want to view the latest version of a file you will
not have to change anything in the date/time field.
Find the file or folder you wish to restore in the list
of tasks.
Note! You may have to 'try' several different dates. If, for
example, you deleted a file on your computer by mistake without knowing
exactly when you did so, it may take some time to locate the most current
file prior to deletion. The grey horizontal bars denote for which points
in time files are available for restoration.
Double-click on a file or a folder. In the Windows dialogue box, select where you want to store your data and remember where you are saving it.
.The
file or folder is stored locally on your machine the way it was when you
backed it up.
