Restoring data from a BackupAssist backup

As BackupAssist provides a number of different backup engines, different restore procedures apply depending on the format your backups are stored on.

Click Restore in the navigation bar. You will then be presented with a list of applications that can be launched to restore your data. The application that applies depends on the data you need to restore as well as the backup engine that was used to backup your data.

*You cannot recover backups created with Ntbackup.exe using Windows Server Backup. A version of Ntbackup.exe is, however, available as a download for Windows Server 2008 should you want to recover data from backups created using Ntbackup.exe. The downloadable version of Ntbackup.exe is only for performing recoveries. To download this limited version of Ntbackup.exe, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=82917.
** You can only restore individual files and folders using Windows Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2; to do this the backup must reside on either an external disk or in a remote shared folder (NAS device). We recommend using the BackupAssist Restore Console instead.
*** You can only restore the system state if you have a drive image backup of the disk where Windows was installed.
