Overview

When you restore a backup of a company file, SmartVault uses the last known location of that company file on your computer as the default location where it will restore the backup file.

If SmartVault has never worked with that particular company on the current computer, it will use the default Company Files folder as the default location. You can also choose an alternate location on your local computer to restore the company file.

Restoring a Company File

1. Install the SmartVault Desktop software.

2. Verify that you are signed in to SmartVault from the SmartVault Desktop software by completing the following steps:
   • From the Start menu, click Start > Programs > SmartVault > SmartVault Launchpad.
