How to retrieve a deleted file in ESW

Restore is the name given to the function when information has been backed up either to the computer's hard drive, shared media such as a portable disk or a network drive and is later needed to be copied back to your hard drive of the computer. The restore process has two prerequisites, the first being that a backup of the files exists (the backup process is outside the scope of this document) and the second is that you have access to the backup file.
