Restoring Files and Folders
SonicWALL CDP allows you to recover lost data directly from the appliance. Recovery can be
performed to replace a file set that has been deleted, or to restore a previous version of a file
or folder that has been changed or otherwise damaged. Recovery can be performed on any
agent and recovered files are restored directly from the appliance.
If necessary, before restoring a file set, first follow the prescribed restore procedures of the
system which may include the re-installation of the operating system, applications or
replacement of hardware.
To recover files and folders from the SonicWALL CDP appliance, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Launch the SonicWALL CDP Agent software on the agent machine on which you want to
recover the file set.
Step 2 If necessary, click the Change Appliance icon to change the SonicWALL CDP appliance
to the one with the files you need.
Step 3 Click the My Backups tab.
Step 4 In the left pane, click FileSets. The display expands to show available backup tasks.
Step 5 Click the desired backup task. The available revisions are displayed.
Step 6 Click the desired revision. The root folder and details about the revision are displayed, including
the date and time.
