Note: some back up files may be so large that it is impractical to download and restore from a single file. These backups are broken into multiple files associated with a metafile that acts as a key to merge other files. The process of restoring from a metafile is to select and upload the metafile first. After a few seconds, another window will open, requesting that the other backup files be uploaded. Begin with the SVB file ending in 00, then 01, and continue until all backup files are loaded. |
