Restoring files
File restoration is accomplished either by a web browser or using the Syncrify client.Using web browser
Using a web browser connect to the Syncrify Server. The URL in the address bar must be exactly what you typed in the Remote Server URL when specifying backup parameters.

Simply navigate to the file you want to restore and double click it to download.
