Retrieving Backed-Up Items
You may sometimes want to retrieve files and other items backed up on the
My Book Live drive. For example, you may have lost a file, or you want to see files
from a week ago. You can retrieve individual items, multiple items, shares, or if your
system crashes, your entire hard drive.
To retrieve backed-up items to your hard drive:
1. Open the window on your computer where you want the item restored. For
example, if you are retrieved a document, open the Documents folder. (If you
are restoring an item on your desktop, you do not need to open a window.)
