Point-In-Time Filtering for File Restoration

Object storage types of remote servers may support file versioning. When file versioning is enabled on these types of remote server, Files.com will provide the ability to view past versions of files, allowing you to recover these previous versions.

Recovering a previous version of a file is useful whenever a file is accidentally changed or deliberately corrupted due to malware attacks, such as ransomware.

Point-In-Time Filtering

When browsing a remote server that has versioning enabled, a point-in-time filter will be available.

Selecting a date and time will update the view to present the folder contents as they were at that point in time.

The filter is available for all folders so you can navigate to the specific folder, or sub-folder, that you wish to target with the point in time view.

Recovering Point-In-Time Files

Once the filter is applied, you can download or copy the point-in-time version of the items in the folder.

You can select multiple items for downloading or copying.

You can copy items to other locations within your Files.com site, allowing you to restore to any location, including other remote servers, as needed.

Supported Remote Server Types for Point-In-Time Browsing

Currently, the only type of remote server that supports our point-in-time browsing feature is AWS S3 with Versioning enabled.

Versioning must be enabled on the bucket prior to connecting to it as a remote server.
