Restoring from an older backup

Every time a user chooses a new destination to backup to, the old backup database is closed and the active one is the default view in Advanced Restore and Timeline Explorer. Restoring from an older backup can be done from the Advanced Restore.

To restore from an older backup
  1. Open Advanced Restore from the Dashboard.

  2. Browse for the drive/destination that has the older backup, or browse for the "_Genie Timeline" folder.

  3. If there is more than one backup on the drive/destination, Genie Timeline will load the backups that are on the location to select from the list.

  4. Move the Timeline slider to select the time frame to restore data from.

  5. Expand the folder structure to browse for the files and folders needed to be restored.

  6. Select the files, blue check marks indicate that all files and folders are selected, grey indicates partial selection.

  7. Select the data you wish to restore.

  8. Click next to proceed to restore options.
