Access the restore method selection dialog in one of the following ways:
- From Arcserve UDP:
  a. Log in to Arcserve UDP.
  
  b. Click the resources tab.
  
  c. Select All Nodes in the left pane.
  
  All the added nodes are displayed in the center pane.

  e. Click Restore from the Actions dropdown menu.
  
  The restore method selection dialog opens.

- From Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows):
  a. Log in to Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows).
  
  b. From the home page, select Restore.
  
  The restore method selection dialog opens.
Click the Find Files/Folders to Restore option.
The Find Files/Folders to Restore dialog opens.
Select File Copy Location checkbox and click Change to change the location to the destination where your file copy images are stored.
The Destination dialog opens and you can select Local or network drive or Cloud.

Note: By default, the Backup Location and File Copy Location fields display the corresponding path used for the most recent backup/file copy destinations.
- If you select Local or network drive, you can either specify a location or browse to the location where your file copy images are stored.
- You can click green arrow validate icon to verify proper access to the source location.
- If you select Cloud, you can either specify a cloud location or click the Configure button to display the Cloud Configuration dialog. For more information, see Specify Cloud Configuration for Restore.
  Regardless of whether you selected to restore from Local or network drive or from Cloud, when you change the destination to an alternate location a pop-up dialog will appear, asking if you want to perform a new catalog synchronization or read from the existing catalog.
  - If it is the first time you are performing a catalog synchronization, the Browse Existing button will be disabled because there is no existing file copy catalog locally.
  - If a catalog synchronization has been previously performed, this dialog will display details about the last time the catalog was synchronized from this destination. If there were more file copy jobs run since that displayed time, your catalog may not be currently synchronized and you can select the Sync option to ensure your file copy catalog is up-to-date.
    1. Click Sync to download the file copy catalog from the specified file copy destination to your local machine to provide faster browsing.
    
    2. Click Browse Existing to use the file copy catalog that is available locally and not download/sync it again.
