When you perform an archive restore, the archived data is restored to the backup system as a regular backup. After you restore an archive to the backup system, you can restore it to the client in the same manner used to restore other backups. For instructions, see Restoring from archives.
The figure below illustrates the archive restore process. For the first step, you must restore the backup or individual files from the archive media to a Unitrends appliance to which the archive device is connected. You can then restore the backup or files to a client that is registered to the appliance.
