Druva Documentation

Restore data by using the inSync Client

Overview

Your inSync administrator can make it mandatory for you to provide your inSync account credentials when you restore data by using the inSync Client. In this scenario, the Druva inSync Restore window appears where you must provide your inSync account credentials.

Note: If you change the language for the inSync Web interface or the Restore Backup Data window, the content within the Restore Backup Data window appears in the appropriate language. However, the file names and the folder names are not translated.
