Once you have located a file or folder that you want to recover using Replica, there are several ways to proceed: 1. You can drag and drop the backed up item onto your desktop or to another location on your hard disk. You can use the Windows Copy command (Edit->Copy or <Ctrl>-C) to copy the item to the clipboard and then use the Windows Paste command (Edit->Pasteor <Ctrl>-V) to paste it elsewhere on your computer. Seagate Replica User Guide 8 3. The resulting menu lets you perform these actions: · Explore: view all the versions of the file that are available. When viewing a list of versions, you can use any of the remaining commands in this list to restore a version. · Open: open the item in its native application. You can then paste it into your preferred destination folder. All files and folders you restore from Replica back to your computer remain on Replica as backup files. They can be restored again if necessary. Recovering Deleted Files A deleted file remains on Replica. However, the file icon is dimmed to indicate that the file was deleted. To recover deleted files and folders from Replica proceed as follows: 1. To recover the most recent version of a file, copy and paste the file, or drag and drop its icon, to your desktop or another folder. To recover an older version, double-click the file icon and choose the version you want from the resulting list. Then copy and paste the file, or drag and drop its icon, to your desktop or another folder. Using Replica to Migrate (Transfer) Data Files You can use Replica to transfer data files from a Replica-enabled PC to any other Windows PC--whether or not it uses Replica itself. This is because any Windows PC can temporarily connect with, or "host", a Replica and have access to the backup files stored on it. To transfer data from your Replica to another PC, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that the files you want to transfer to the other PC are backed up on Replica. If you're unsure how to do this, see "Obtaining Backup Information" for details. Use the "Safely Disconnect" feature to disconnect Replica from your PC. Note: If the receiving PC also uses a Replica product, you may need to open the Replica browser (see "Launching the Replica Browser") and double-click on the icon with the name of this Replica's home computer In addition, if your Replica backup is password protected, you must enter the associated password. Navigate the Replica backup as usual and transfer the files to the PC as you normally would. See "Finding and Restoring Files and Folders using the Replica Browser" for details.
