Connect the backup drive to a working computer
Open the intended physical drive in File Explorer; its drive letter may differ from the original PC.
Open the routine’s destination folder
Selected folders retain their structure. Individually selected files appear directly in the destination.
Copy files to a new recovery folder
Use Copy rather than Move so the backup remains unchanged while you inspect the recovered files.
Read Backup Passport when needed
Turn on Hidden items and open _Backup-OClock → Portable-Recovery → READ-ME-FIRST.txt for saved recovery guidance.
Open and verify several recovered files
Confirm the recovered content before replacing originals, deleting anything, or rebuilding routines.
