If you want to recover files you have backed up with Mamut Online Backup, you can do so in two ways:
Recover files or folders to the same computer with the help of History
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.
Recover data from a machine that is no longer in use with help of Restore
The Restore function has been designed to make it as easy as possible for you to restore data from a machine that is no longer in use or another machine you are accessing via the same user account. However, this function enables you to restore the latest version of a file only. Here, you can start a route to restore an earlier backup copy, either to your machine, or to another machine, for example if you have changed machines or it has broken down.
Data which has been moved, deleted or renamed
You can restore single files or entire folders which you previously deleted from your local computer.
When you delete, move or rename a file or folder, which you have selected for backup on your computer, Mamut Online Backup will soon notice that the folder or file is missing.
The Question mark-icon indicates that the program can no longer locate a folder.
If you simply moved the folder or have given it a new name, you can move it back or give it back its original name. The backup process will then recommence.
You can also change the path to file for the backup by clicking on the magnifying-glass icon and setting a new path.
Note! When you see the question mark,
you must not delete the backup task in Mamut Online Backup before you have
located the missing folder. By doing so, you would let the server know
that you no longer want to access these files and you would not be available
to restore them later.
If you have actively deleted a folder (not the task) or parts of its content you will no longer be able to use the Restore function to recover the data. Should you try restoring, you will receive a message stating that the task is already available on your computer.
Instead, use the History function to restore deleted files.
