<title>Restoring</title>
<section id="scan">
<title>Scanning for Backups</title>
<p>Each time a new backup happens, it adds a new "snapshot" of your files. Each snapshot has its own record of files at the time of backup.</p>
<p>In order to browse and restore from an existing backup, we must first scan the available backups and pick one to examine.</p>

<section id="fresh">
<title>Fresh Install</title>
<p>If you haven’t used <app>Déjà Dup</app> on your computer before (for example, if you are working on a freshly installed system), you have to do some initial setup.</p>
<steps>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Backups</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click on the <gui style="button">Restore From a Previous Backup…</gui> button.</p></item>
  <item><p>A restore dialog will appear asking where your backup files are stored (your <gui>Backup location</gui>).</p></item>
  <item><p>Click <gui style="button">Search</gui></p></item>
  <item><p>Wait for <app>Déjà Dup</app> to scan the backup location.</p></item>
</steps>
</section>

<section id="existing">
<title>Existing Install</title>
<p>If you are trying to restore a file from a previous backup on your computer, that’s easy too.</p>
<steps>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Backups</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click on the <gui style="button">Browse Backups</gui> button</p></item>
  <item><p>Wait for <app>Déjà Dup</app> to scan the backup location.</p></item>
</steps>
</section>

<section id="restore">
<title>Restore Files</title>
<p>Scroll the available backup dates and click the one you want to examine. Then one of two things will happen, depending on when you first made a backup.</p>

<section id="restic">
<title>Restic</title>
<p>If your backups were first created with a modern version of <app>Déjà Dup</app> (49.0 or later), it made Restic backups.</p>
<p>In that case, a file manager window will appear. You can open files directly or drag and drop them to the rest of your file system to restore them.</p>
</section>

<section id="duplicity">
<title>Duplicity</title>
<p>If your backups were first created with an older version of <app>Déjà Dup</app> (48.2 or earlier), it made Duplicity backups.</p>
<p>In that case, you'll see a built-in file browser. Select the files you want to restore, click <gui>Restore</gui>, and choose the destination.</p>
