If you are restoring an image from an external memory, click browse for backup to select the image from your memory. In some cases the Secure Zone image is not listed here automatically.

Make sure to choose the right location (e.g. a secure zone file has always be recovered to System drive C:). If it is not the wanted one click on new location and choose the right place.

If you want to restore a complete disk, make sure to choose the right hard disk if your VPU does have more than one hard disk drives. Also check the right connection and naming of any external connected hard drive. If you are unsure, please contact MA Lighting to avoid any damage of your system.
