====== 7  Restoring a Cloud File Backup Set ======

AhsayOBM provided three (3) options in restoring a backup such as through the **Local machine**, **Original location**, and **Alternate location**. After this quick walkthrough, you will see the step-by-step instructions with corresponding screen shots on how to restore your data using the following options below.

  * **Local machine**\\  Restore your data to your local computer where the AhsayOBM is running.
  * **Original location**\\  Aside from the location machine, you can also restore your data to your original location, on the cloud storage, where you backed up them.
  * **Alternate location**\\  Besides the two (2) options above, you can also restore your data to an alternate location which is through the same cloud storage but on a different folder.
