Restoring Files
When you back up the files stored in selected folders, Seagate Manager can save up to ten
(10) previous, or historical, versions of each revised file stored on your FreeAgent drive or
Seagate Online. You can restore a saved historical version of a backed-up file based on the
date it was last modified, or you can restore the file’s most recent version.
Note: An encrypted file is restored based on the date it was backed up rather than on the date it
was last modified.
