    Below is a clip from an article regarding WHS where it states how easy it is to revover a deleted file:

    "The restore function is
    what is really impressive. If a user deletes
    a file or overwrites a file, the time needed
    to recover is literally seconds – just open
    up the agent (in the System Tray) and
    restore it."

    I don't see how this is done.  What "agent" are they referring to? 
    How is recovering a deleted file done in seconds?

    Thanks,
    Jamie

    It sounds to me like that article is referring to Single File Restore.  Just open the Console, then open one of your backups stored on your server (Computers and Backups > select client > View Backups > select backup > click Open), then restore whichever file you need.
