- Backup. Used to perform a manual (nonscheduled) backup of a file system or individual files.
- Restore. Used to restore a file or files.
- Archive. Open a Help request if you would like to use the archive function.
- Retrieve. Open a Help request if you would like to retrieve data that’s previously archived.
