How to Restore Data from the Vault Folder

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

Before starting the restoration process with the Polarbackup 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 Polarbackup desktop application and click the Restore button. This will launch the Polarbackup Restore application.

If the Polarbackup 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 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 Polarbackup Restore window without affecting the restoration progress.
