Considerations:

• If your source is an Agentless Machine or Windows Image Backup recovery point, click Browse Recovery Point and select the .img file associated with each disk of your Agentless Machine.
• If your disk is a static NTFS format drive (likely on a Windows system), you can double click on the .img file and select a folder or file on the disk. Then, click Restore Using Cloud Direct Agent.
• If you selected an .img file, select a format to convert your .img file. Mac, Windows, and Linux can restore as vhdx. Linux 64 bit can also restore as vmdk.
• If you selected a Folder or SQL backup task point, click Browse Recovery Point, navigate to the file or folder you want to recover and click Restore Using Cloud Direct Agent.
• If you clicked Browse Recovery Point, you can right click on any file that is less than 140 MB and click Download. As the option is a result of a browser download, none of the original ACLs and timestamps are preserved.
• If you selected a File backup, then you can just enter the destination path.

The Restore wizard is displayed.

• As Step 1, you can Specify Recovery Point, Update the Image format or Destination path and click Next.

Considerations:

• Verify if the destination path is a valid path for the destination system where you will recover to.
• For Windows destinations, you can enter local drive or UNC paths if you selected a folder. If you selected a .img or file and want to recover to a Windows system, enter a local drive path.
• For Linux or Mac destinations you can enter a Linux path.
• If a folder is selected, the CD Agent will recover the contents of the selected folder into the path entered. If you would like to restore the selected folder with the same name, enter the folder name at the end of the destination path.
• In Step 2, use Select Target Machine to select a target machine and click Restore.
• Considerations:
• If you want to restore a file/folder from a Windows source or SQL backup, select a Windows source as a destination.

• Note: The machines are displayed only if you select the check box of Restore on to another machine. To restore on the source machine, select the check box of Restore on the original source machine and click Restore.
• A message confirms that recovery started successfully and you return to the selected destination.
