Pre-requisite: Before you can do this, you must have chosen archive package as the delivery method for files you selected in your MozyPro account online, then manually downloaded the archive package.

To extract a set of files you downloaded on a Mac:

  1. Double-click the archive.
  2. The Mac Archive Utility extracts the folder in the same location as the archive. This will take some time.

In the extraction destination folder, a restore folder is created with the same name as the restore zip file. This restore folder contains all the folders and files you requested to be restored. Inside the folder, the complete folder structure for all the restored files is preserved as it had been at the time all the files were backed up.

Important: If you chose to use non-default encryption for your backups with MozyPro, you will now need to decrypt your files. For more information, see Decrypting My Restored Files

Next Steps: If necessary, move the extracted files into appropriate locations on the computer. This might mean moving them into the default documents folder for your user account on the computer. It might also mean moving personal data files for email or database programs into the necessary folder.

After you are sure all your files are restored and in the correct folders on your computer, you can delete the archive package which you manually downloaded.
