Restoring Files from Backup

• The appliance Web interface's Cloud Backup Control Panel

  This can be done by administrators only. See Restoring Files and Folders from the Cloud Backup Control Panel.

• The CTERA Portal

  You can access the CTERA Portal and restore files from there. This can be done by administrators only.

• The Virtual Cloud Drive

  This can be done by both administrators and end users. See Restoring Files and Folders from a Cloud Snapshot Using the Virtual Cloud Drive.
