Attach an archive
Overview
When you back up files to a destination, Code42 stores your backup as an archive. When you are backing up to a local destination, like an external drive, you may need to re-attach the archive to the Code42 agent if you:
- Move the archive to another drive (for example, if you upgrade to a larger drive)
- Replace your device
In these scenarios, follow the steps below to attach the archive.
Considerations
Attaching an archive only applies to local backups, not to cloud destinations like the Code42 cloud.
Steps
Next step: Download files
To download files to your device after attaching the archive, please see Download files from the Code42 agent.
