 Index  Previous  Next

Only users with the System administrator privilege can restore data from a backup file. To do the restore, choose Tools > Administrative tools from the menu. Then click on the Restore... link in the Administrative tools panel. The restore data window will appear. Specify a backup file name on the Crypt-o Server computer and press OK to start the restore.

NOTE: By default backup files are located in the backup sub-folder in the data folder of Crypt-o Server. The default location of backup files is C:\Program Files (x86)\Crypt-o\data\backup.
