Rename the file if you wish and select the location at which you want it

saved.

Step 6:

Click Save.

The file is saved at the selected location and now appears in both its

original and its new locations.

Restoring a Selected Version of a File

Since Mirra stores the eight most recent versions of each file, you can restore an

earlier version to your computer.

File versions are sorted in the order in which each version was created, with the

earliest version listed first. The date displayed for each version reflects the date
on which that version was modified according to your operating system’s time
stamp.

Note:

Before you can restore a version of a deleted file, you must undelete it.

To restore an earlier version of a file,

Step 1:

On the Backup & Restore screen, select the file to be restored.

Step 2:

On the File/Folder Tasks menu, click View version history (you can also

double-click the file).

Step 3:

On the Version Tasks menu, click Restore selected version.

The selected version of the file is restored to its original location on your

computer.

Notes on Backing Up and Restoring Files and

Folders

If you interrupt the backup of your files by turning off your computer or

disconnecting from your network, Mirra remembers where you left off and

picks up from there when you turn your computer back on or reconnect to

your network.

Laptop users: Even when you disconnect your computer from the network,

the Mirra software continues to track changes and automatically

synchronizes the most recent version of each of your files to your Personal

Server when you reconnect to the network.
