Restoring a Client Application
You can restore any revision of a client application that is available on the SonicWALL CDP
appliance to an agent machine. The restore can be made directly to the application installation
on the agent, or to another location on the hard drive. If restored to another location on disk,
the files can be copied to the application later by stopping the application, doing the copy, and
restarting the application.
To restore a backed up client application from a revision on the SonicWALL CDP appliance,
perform the following steps.
Step 1 In the SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface, click the My Backups tab.
Step 2 In the left pane, click Applications. The display expands to show available backup tasks.
Step 3 Click the desired backup task. The available revisions are displayed.
Step 4 Click the desired revision. The root folder and details about the revision are displayed, including
the date and time.

location.
• Restore to alternate location – This option restores the files to the disk of the agent
machine.
Step 8 Under Components, select the checkboxes for the items you want to restore.
Step 9 Click OK. The Application Restoration Details window appears.
