IDrive lets you restore backups of your previous computer to your new computer. You can even create a new location with the new computer name, during initial login to the IDrive application from an Asustor device.

Select the Adopt/Link to an existing location/computer option to restore the backup of previous computer. This will avoid the time consuming initial backup. However, if you wish to create a new location, click Proceed to create new location with this computer name, when prompted to select location/computer for backup.


To adopt your backup archive,

  1. Install Asustor backup app on your NAS machine and login to the Asustor Backup App.
  2. Click Adopt/Link to an existing location/computer when prompted to select location/computer for backup. A list of locations/computers linked to your account appears.
  3. Select the desired computer/location from the list and click Adopt/Link Selected Location to restore your previous backups.

Note: This feature is only available for certain accounts.
