Local folders
If the archive is stored in a local folder on the machine, expand the <Machine name>
group and select the required folder.
CD, DVD, BD
If the archive is stored on optical media such as CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Discs (BD), expand the

insert the discs in order starting from the first one when the program prompts.

If the archive is stored on an RDX drive or USB flash drive, expand the <Machine name>

Tape devices are available only if you have upgraded from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
For information about using tapes, see the "Tape devices" section of the product Help.
Network folders
If the archive is stored on a network share, expand the Network folders group, then select
the required networked machine and then click the shared folder. If the network share
requires access credentials, the program will ask for them.
FTP, SFTP
If the archive is stored on an FTP or SFTP server, type the server name or address in the
Path field as follows:
ftp://ftp_server:port _number or sftp://sftp_server:port number
To establish an active mode FTP connection, use the following notation:
aftp://ftp_server:port _number
If the port number is not specified, port 21 is used for FTP and port 22 is used for SFTP.
After entering access credentials, the folders on the server become available. Click the
appropriate folder on the server.
You can access the server as an anonymous user if the server enables such access. To do
so, click Use anonymous access instead of entering credentials.
According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers
are transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and
password can be intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
5.1.1.2 Data catalog
Data catalog lets you easily find the required version of data and select it for recovery. On a managed
machine, the data catalog functionality is available through the Data view tab for any vault accessible
from this machine.
