If it is not already present, copy the archive file to the default archive path. Leave the original backup file where it is. Archives that have been previously removed from Historian can be found in the \Archives\Offline directory. Archives on removable media must also be copied into the default archive path.
Procedure

Select the Restore Archive icon.
The Restore Archive window appears.
