You can then select the files and folders you want to restore from your backup menu.īecause you either have to download files from the Internet or send them away for a physical copy, I only recommend using a cloud-based backup service to restore your Mac if you don't already have a local backup on hand. You can launch the remote app on your Mac or visit the company's website. Most programs will have a Restore files tool right in the user interface. All of them will require that you download a backup from their remote servers, though - unless the service offers to send you a physical hard drive that you can use as a backup (Backblaze provides this feature). If you use a cloud-based backup service, like Backblaze or CrashPlan, you can download missing data to restore your Mac.Įach cloud-based backup service is different.

How to restore your Mac from a cloud backup If you want to install a bootable backup, hold down the Option key while your Mac is restarting and select the clone from your external hard drive in your partitioned hard drive.
Your Mac will restore the cloned backup and then restart once it is finished. Select your Mac's hard drive next to "Restore to.".Select the external hard drive that your cloned backup is stored next to "Restore From.".Click the Restore tab at the top of the Disk Utility window.While the startup disc is waking up, hold down the Command and R keys simultaneously.Note: Because you have to enter Recovery mode on your Mac, I suggest printing out these instructions or switching to another device to read them. If you clone your Mac using a cloning program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, you can restore your entire hard drive from a backup and even create a bootable installer.
