   What are Snapshots ?
 


Snapshots are links to your previously stored files in your IBackup account. Snapshots are point in time images of the user data at a specified time. Available snapshots may vary. The current system usually allows for up to previous 5 days of snapshots. This may change without notice.

Once you enable Snapshots view, You should be able to see the files stored in your IBackup account during the previous days under the newly created directories with appropriate names. The backup directories will have meaningful names with date extensions or nightly/weekly etc. You can restore the files which you want from these directories and store it on to your account.

Please note:
a. Snapshots view can be enabled for the Main IBackup accounts only and NOT for sub-accounts.

b. You should disable snapshots view once you are done with them, else it will clutter your IBackup account unnecessarily.
