If files were backed up using the Autobackup feature in the Drive Manager, there are two options to restore that data.
1. Restore using the Drive Manager.
This is the preferred method.
2. Restore by copying files from the external drive directly.
Use this method if restoring to a system that on which Drive Manager software is not installed (a new computer, for example) or if you have forgotten your SafetyKey password. If encryption was used during the backup, you cannot restore manually.

software. If prompted, click Yes at the Windows User Account Control (UAC) window.
