How to Restore Assets Objects: Step 1 - Find Objects to Restore

This page allows you to find and select the specific Assets objects you wish to restore. You must use the filters to build a search query and locate the objects within a backup snapshot.

Filter Card

On the right side of the screen, you must fill out the filter card to locate the objects.

  • Snapshot *:

    • This is a required field. Select the backup snapshot that contains the asset objects you want to restore (e.g., Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:11:37 GMT).

  • Object schema *:

    • This is a required field. Select the object schema (e.g., "IT Assets," "Employees") that contains the objects you want to restore.

  • Object Type *:

    • This is a required field. Select the specific object type (e.g., "Laptops," "Servers") to further narrow your search.

  • Search by object key:

    • This is an optional filter. If you know the exact key of the object you want to restore (e.g., IT-123), enter it here for a direct search.

  • Objects to be restored:

    • This radio button selection determines how many objects you will restore from your filtered results.

      • Let me select: (Default) This option will take you to a preview screen where you can hand-pick individual objects from the search results to restore.

      • All objects: This option will restore all objects that match your filter criteria (Snapshot, Schema, Type).

Actions

  • Reset: Click this button to clear all the filter fields and start your search over.

  • Restore preview: After you have set your filters, click this button (currently disabled) to run the search. This will show you a list of matching objects to select from (if "Let me select" is chosen) or a confirmation summary (if "All objects" is chosen).
