How to restore to a new computer using iProtectMac

If you have been using iProtectMac to backup your Mac and it died, how do you restore your system to a new Mac?

• Download and install iProtectMac (www.iprotectmac.com/downloads.html) onto your new computer.
• Launch iProtectMac.
• iProtectMac will ask you for S3 account credentials. Use the same S3 account you used before. If you don’t have your S3 credentials handy you can look them up on Amazon’s Web Services portal.
• iProtectMac will ask you for your encryption key. Use the same key, otherwise iProtectMac won’t be able to decrypt your backups.
• Once you’ve entered that information, iProtectMac’s main window appears, and you’ll see a spinning progress indicator next to the title “Other Computers”:
• iProtectMac will download all the “index” files it needs to figure out the old computer’s backups. Once that’s done, you can click on the triangle next to “Other Computers” to see the backups.
• Select a backup version on the left; then drag and drop the backed-up folder on the right to a Finder window to start the restore process.  iProtectMac displays a progress dialog during the restore process.

And that’s it! If you wish you can drag and drop more backed-up items to restore multiple backed-up items in parallel.
