Folder-level restores help recover a project hierarchy when a directory was changed or removed.
Steps for Windows
- Open the correct storage and Backup ID.
- Choose a revision containing the desired directory tree.
- Select the whole folder rather than individual files.
- Restore to a new directory and inspect nested subfolders.
How to verify the result
The recovered folder includes the expected nested files.
The chosen revision may contain files no longer present in current storage.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
