Backup Storage Browser (Beta)

Starting from Management Console version 7.0, a backup storage browsing feature allows you to view all backups across all computers, perform item-level restores, and delete backup data. This functionality is currently available in beta for Windows-based computers.

To access the backup storage browser for a selected backup storage, navigate to Backup > Computers and click any online computer.

In the Backup Storage tab, click the Open in browser button below the tile of the backup storage.

By design, you can view all backups across all computers/backup prefixes that are available to you. To view the backup content, select a computer, backup plan, or generation from the left pane for a detailed view. Refer to the Backup Plan Explained chapter if you need further explanation. You can also select the desired backup storage from the dropdown menu above the right pane.

To view the backup content for a specific computer or prefix, disable the View backups of all computers switch.

TTo return to the Backup > Computers page, click Go to the Backup Storage List.

Delete Generations

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is required to delete generations. You can delete a selected generation if the deletion operation is available for that generation.
