Windows

Windows provides a built-in interface for recovering previous versions of files stored on network drives, including Data Depot. This method allows you to browse and restore snapshots directly through File Explorer without any additional tools.

Recovery Steps

  1. Open the folder that contained the lost file in File Explorer.
  2. Right-click on the folder and select "Properties".
  3. Navigate to the "Previous Versions" tab.
  4. A list of available snapshots will be displayed. Each entry shows two columns: the timestamp when the snapshot was taken, and the modification date of files within that snapshot.
  5. Select the appropriate snapshot that contains the version of the file you want to restore.
  6. A new window will open showing the contents of the folder at that point in time.
  7. Locate your desired file and drag and drop it to restore it to your current folder.

This recovery method allows Windows users to directly restore files through the operating system interface without requiring additional tools or command-line access.
