Restoring From Backup

There are 2 ways to restore files from a backup: the Restore button, and drag-and-drop.

Restoring Selected Files

1. On the left, click on the backup you're interested (backups are the date/time items under the folders). The contents of the backup are displayed on the right.
2. Click on the item you want to restore, and click the "Restore Selected Items" button.
3. Select a location where Arq should recreate the selected item and click "Open".
4. Arq recreates as much folder structure as necessary to recreate the selected item.

Drag-and-Drop Restore

Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop an item from the list to the Desktop or Finder to restore it.

1. On the left, click on the backup you're interested (backups are the date/time items under the folders). The contents of the backup are displayed on the right.
