In this article, you will learn how to restore your backups created with MyDefender to a PC.

Creating a Boot Medium

Boot media is removable media, such as a USB flash drive, that allows you to run the Cyber Protection Agent without the actual operating system. You can use bootable media to restore an operating system if it fails to boot, for example.

Create a boot medium and test it after you create the first drive-level backup. Repeat this process after each major update to Cyber Protection Agent.
