You can download or restore older versions of your files. When changed files from your computer are backed up, previously backed up versions of those files are kept in the McAfee cloud for the duration of the same grace period that applies to deleted files.
You can recover older versions of files:
- in the McAfee Online Backup backup software for Windows by selecting the date and time of a past backup occasion.
- in an Explorer window on a Windows computer being backed up with McAfee Online Backup.
- in the McAfee Online Backup virtual drive on a Windows computer being backed up with McAfee Online Backup.
- in the local backup version history if you use Local Backup on a Windows computer and if you have enabled version history for local backup.
- in your
McAfee Online Backup account on the Web by selecting
Change Date when selecting files, or by clicking
for a specific file.
If you are backing up a Windows computer and using the local backup feature, you have access to a separate history that lets you restore older files locally. For more information, see Local Backup Version History on Windows.
