The Recover section enables you to restore your data from a backup to a factory-fresh
My Cloud device.

Important: Changes made to data while backup operations are in progress are not
guaranteed to be backed up immediately.
Important: Make sure the replacement My Cloud device is new or is in factory fresh
state. (See “System Factory Restore” on page 65.) The capacity of the
replacement device must be the same or larger than the backup you
created.
