Important Information About Data Restore

• Data is backed up with a snapshot once a day.
• If the creation and deletion of data occur between snapshots, there is no method to recover those files or folders.  The files need to have existed long enough to be picked up by the snapshot that is run each day in order to be recovered.
• The data will be permanently deleted and not recoverable if it passes beyond the scope of the snapshots.
• If a file had versioning enabled, then when restored, the versions applicable to the snapshot date will also be restored to Restore Points.
• Snapshots currently span 60 days
