Getting files back

Restoring is the whole point of a backup, so MomentBackup makes it boring: pick a moment, pick the files, see exactly what will happen, go.

Step back to any moment

Go back in time shows your backup as a folder you can browse, with a timeline of snapshots. Step between snapshots to watch a folder as it was yesterday, last week, last month. A file you deleted is simply still there in any snapshot from before the deletion.

If you don’t know where the file lived, Find a file searches every version of everything by name, date, or kind.

Preview before anything happens

When you pick files and hit restore, MomentBackup first shows what it’s about to do: how many files will be created, how many would overwrite something newer, and how many are already identical. Nothing is written until you confirm.

Where files land

Original location — puts things back exactly where they were.
A new location — restores into a folder you choose, so you can inspect first.

If the target already has a file with the same name, you choose the policy: replace everything, replace only files that actually differ, or skip anything that already exists.

Whole folders, multiple selections

You can restore one file, several files from different folders, or a whole folder tree as it was at that moment — the preview handles overlap and shows the honest totals either way.
