I still need to restore the file

This article will walk you through restoring your RoboForm data and importing it into RoboForm. There are a couple of things that need to be in place in order for the restore and import to work:

  • Ensure RoboForm is installed on your computer.
  • Ensure Recover Mode is enabled. This makes it so that no update to files or any new files are backed up to Carbonite while in this mode and it lets the restore run as smooth as possible.

Let's begin by opening the Carbonite Backup Drive through the File Explorer window (alternatively called Windows Explorer in older Windows operating systems). Do this by double-clicking the Carbonite Backup Drive icon.
