This article walks you through a simple, risk-free way to test ProBackup's restore process. We recommend testing a restore before you actually need one, so you know exactly what to do in an emergency.
How to run a test restore
On the Home page, click "Go to..." for any app.
Select a data type tab (e.g. tasks, comments, or files).
Navigate to any project, list, or board in the left sidepane.
Select one or more records and click "Restore...".
Go to Reports > Restore Report to follow the progress.
Once the restore is complete, open your app and locate the restored items.
Compare the restored items with the originals to verify the data.
After reviewing, delete the restored copies to keep only the original records.
How to find restored items in your app
Projects and boards – restored items are created with "restore" and the date appended to the name (e.g. "Project A (restore 2026-02-11)").
Records and tasks – sort by creation date to find the newly created items.
Note: Large restores may take a few minutes to complete. You can track the progress on the Restore Report page.
