## How to Restore a File

| ### What to do:
| This function restores a file from a specified (backup) vault at its original location in the vault. The file to be restored in the system must exist at the specified location of the backup area. The system administrator needs to copy files to be restored in the system from a secondary storage media to the corresponding backup area.
| Select Manager > File Management > Files. The FMS-Files mask is opened.
| Select the file to be restored into the system.
| Select Store back from the context menu.
| Select a vault.
| Agile e6 does not permit copying files from secondary media (such as tape drives). Files must be imported from devices that feature a file system (e.g. CD-ROM drives). Files can only be restored from a vault (storage area) of vault type "BCK". The vault types ("FMS", "PUB", "EIF", etc.) of the backup vault and the original (target) vault must be identical. Exported files (vault types "EXT") cannot be restored in the system. Distributed copies of files that have been distributed to several vaults will be marked as "not actual" (relationship status "N"). Only the original file will retain the "actual" status (relationship status "A"). In case of an original file the "Change date" and "File size" fields will be updated once the restore process is complete.
