Select the Clear Forensics since last backup
check box if you want to use only the stored forensics from your backup
file; this will remove all forensics gained since the last backup.
(Leaving it unchecked means that your forensics data after the restore
will include the backed-up forensics and the forensics added since that
backup.)

Click Next until the restore procedure begins.
|
![]() |
During the restore process, a command window appears. Although it may remain for some time, it will close when the recovery is complete.

The restore operation completely erases all policies and data (and, if checked, forensics) of the current system, and replaces them with the backed-up data.
|
To review the restore activity, read the DataRestore.log file located in the backup folder (for example, MM-DD-YYYY-HH-MM-SS).

Log onto TRITON - Data Security and click Deploy.

If the backup system contains many policies, it may take a while to load the policies and deploy them.
