Restore History in the CrashPlan console lists restores of backup data, showing whose data was restored, the device that received it, and the size, transfer rate, and duration of each restore.
To open Restore History, start from the details of a device, a user, or an organization. The restores listed depend on where you open it from:
- Device details: Select Administration > Environment > Devices, select a device, then click the Restores count to list restores of files backed up from that device.
- User details: Select Administration > Environment > Users, select a user, then click Backup Restores to list restores of that user's files.
- Organization details: Select Administration > Environment > Organizations, select an organization, then click the Restores count to list restores in that organization.
Restore History lists only the restores that your roles allow you to view.

Zip file restores in Restore History
Restore History in the CrashPlan console lists each zip file restore with the name of a CrashPlan storage server in the Restore To column and Linux in the Operating System column. A zip file restore is prepared on the storage server that stores the backup, and the user's web browser then downloads the zip file. The storage server is not listed on the Devices page.
The User column displays a warning icon when another user started the restore, and the requestingUserId field in the CSV export identifies the user who requested it. An administrator can turn off zip file restores for an organization.
Restore History CSV export
To export the restores listed in Restore History to a CSV file, select Export All from the action menu. Each row of the CSV file describes one restore. For a zip file restore, deviceName and the fields that begin with acceptingDevice describe the CrashPlan storage server that prepared the zip file.
