Restore Files from the Vault Folder

Introduction

While Zoolz conducts automatic backups through its desktop application installed on computers and servers, it also offers a Vault folder. This feature enables users to manually upload selected files and folders to the Cloud from any machine, regardless of whether the Zoolz application is installed on it or not.

This article walks you through the process of downloading/restoring files from the Vault folder.

How to Restore Data from the Vault Folder

Method 1. Restoring Files via “Zoolz Restore” Desktop Application

Before starting the restoration process with the Zoolz Restore desktop application, make sure your computer’s power settings are correctly configured to avoid any interruptions. Refrain from logging out of your user profile, restarting, or shutting down your device throughout the entire restoration duration.
Restoration from ❆Cold Storage requires 3-12 hours to commence.

 

Step 1. Open your Zoolz desktop application and click the Restore button. This will launch the Zoolz Restore application.

If the Zoolz desktop application is not installed on your machine, please refer to this article and follow the steps provided.

Step 2. Use the Computer Name drop-down menu to select the Vault option.

Step 3. Choose the desired data from the left-side panel and transfer it to the right-side panel using the Add icon. Once done, proceed by clicking the Next button.

Step 4. Specify the restore options before clicking the Next button to proceed.

During this restoration process, it is vital to maintain uninterrupted operation of your machine—avoid turning it off, logging out of your user profile, or activating sleep mode. Once files are ready and accessible, the download commences automatically. You may minimize or close the Zoolz Restore window without affecting the restoration progress.

Method 2. Download Data From the Zoolz Web Console

This approach proves valuable when the user requires the restoration of either a single file or a few files.

Step 1. Sign in to your Zoolz web console.

Step 2. Refer to the My Computers tab.

Step 3. Click the Vault option on the left-side panel to view the content of your Vault folder.

Step 4. Browse for the data you want to restore.
