Restoring Files and Directories from Snapshots using Windows File Explorer

Restoring Files and Directories from Snapshots using Windows File Explorer

Introduction:

Windows File Explorer's Previous Versions tab may be used to restore files and directories located in the Uplevel Storage Snapshots. 

Windows File Explorer:

  • Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder
  • Right-click it
  • Select Restore previous versions.
If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then select Restore previous versions.
Tip: If you don't remember the exact file or folder name or its location, you can search for it by typing part of the name in the search box in the Documents library.

Here's a screenshot of a Windows host connected to our office's Gateway with a "Packages" share displaying previous versions:
