NOTE: If any of your selected files have already been archived to BLM, you can only restore the archived generations by requesting a BLM restorable image of that data. You can request a BLM restorable image from your service provider or backup administrator. Or, if you have already installed DS-NOC, you can access your BLM data via DS-NOC. For information, see
