3. Scroll to the file window at the bottom of the page.
4. Ensure that the Files uploaded from field is set to Beginning of Backup.
5. Adjust the Files uploaded to field to the date when the files existed on your computer.
6. Click Go.
   The page refreshes and you must scroll again to the file window.
7. Optionally, select the Filters menu to locate the files that you want to restore:
   • Select Show Hidden Files to display photos that are hidden in the default view.
   • Select Files Backed Up in the Last Week to display files that were backed up only in the last week.
   • Select Files Accumulated in Forever Version History to show files that were accumulated by setting the Forever Version History option. This option is available only if you selected Forever Version History for your backups.
8. Select the disks, files, or folders that you want to restore, and click Continue with Restore.

The amount of time in which you are able to recover deleted or previous files depends on the Version History that you selected for your backup. To learn more about Extended Version History, click here.
