How to Recover Files and Folders on Your Computer
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
With Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010, you can recover files and folders from backups that are stored locally on your computer.
Note
By default, DPM allows only the local administrator to perform recoveries on the computer. For more information, see Enabling non-administrators to recover files
To recover data from backups stored locally
Right-click any file or folder that you want to restore, and then click Restore previous versions.
In the Properties dialog box, on the Previous Versions tab, there is a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list includes files and folders that are saved to a backup as well as local recovery points.
Before you restore a previous version of a file or a folder, ensure that it is the correct version. To do this, select the previous version, and then click Open to view its contents.
After you verify that it is the correct version of the file or folder, click Restore.
Enabling non-administrators to recover files
If you want to allow users who are not administrators on a computer to be able to recover files, you must create the following registry key on the protected computer.
