About Restoring Files

In the event of a catastrophic computer failure or loss, you might need to restore backed up files from Mozy's online site. There are four methods for performing a file restore:

Option Description
The Restore tab Lets you restore files from the Configuration window in the Mozy Client.
Virtual Drive Lets you restore files from a virtual drive using either file explorer window or the My Computer window.
Right-click restores Lets you restore files from the file explorer window or My Computer window by right-clicking in the window and selecting the files to restore.
Web restores Lets you download or order DVDs of your files from the Mozy Web site.

The Restore tab does not appear until after the first backup has taken place.

You can also click Restore Files in the Status window or right click the Mozy icon in the system tray and select Restore Files.

Mozy in-client restores return your files to their original location on your hard drive.

Important: You cannot perform an in-client restore when the machine is in the process of a backup.
