Users can now browse historical folder structures, access previous versions of documents, and perform granular restores based on a selected backup date. This feature enhances recovery flexibility and supports scenarios such as version rollback, accidental deletion, or compliance audits.<br \/>\nIt is ideal for recovering files or folders accidentally deleted, rolling back unwanted edits by restoring previous document versions, or retrieving historical data to meet legal or compliance requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>How It Works<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Open<\/strong> your backup for SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, or Shared Drives.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>View Restore Points<\/strong> in the menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-60445\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86-300x168.png\" alt=\"View Restore Points in the menu in MSP 360 Backup Console\" width=\"1420\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86-624x350.png 624w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-86.png 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1420px) 100vw, 1420px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a restore <\/span><b>date<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the calendar and <\/span><b>click <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the \u201cProceed\u201d button.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-60446\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-87-300x211.png\" alt=\"Choose a restore date and time from the calendar in View Restore Point\" width=\"1425\" height=\"1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-87-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-87-100x71.png 100w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-87.png 584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px\" \/>When you're in point-in-time view, you can perform all the same actions as with a regular backup.

The full report is attached as a ZIP archive containing data for all remaining users. This change prevents delivery failures for large reports and makes them easier to read and manage.<\/p>\n<h2>Task Manager Alerts<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve added a red counter icon to the Task Manager button to indicate failed tasks. If any tasks fail, the icon displays the number of failures up to a maximum of 9. (Even if the actual number is higher, the counter will still display 9.) This gives administrators a quick visual cue that something needs attention, without overwhelming the interface with large counts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-60451\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-92-300x89.png\" alt=\"Icon of Task's number in the MSP360 Backup Console menu\" width=\"1439\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-92-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-92-768x227.png 768w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-92-624x184.png 624w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-92.png 941w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1439px) 100vw, 1439px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Smarter Dashboard Units<\/h2>\n<p>Backup sizes on the dashboard are now displayed using appropriate units, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes, based on the actual data volume.
