2. Manual Data Recovery
The data that was backed up by BounceBack Ultimate can be recovered to your existing computer or to
another Windows computer if needed.
You will first have to connect your backup device to your computer. Verify that your computer is able to
detect your backup device.
Restoring Data in Windows XP
You can connect your external drive into a Windows XP computer and simply view the contents of the
external drive. You can do this by going into My Computer then double left-click on your external drive;
this should open the contents of your external drive. Then all you would do is locate the necessary
files/folder and copy/paste the data from the external drive into your computer’s hard drive.
In XP your data files should be found within the "\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\My
Documents” folder - Inside of your backup device.
Note: You might have to search for your files in other locations within your backup
device if you performed a backup of files that resided in custom created folders.
(We provided you with an example on how to restore a picture file from a backup that was
made with BounceBack Ultimate)
Open My Computer. Verify that your backup device is identified by Windows.
Double left-click on your backup device in order to be able to browse this device.
