- [Optional] When recovering Windows or Linux, click Tools > Register media in the Cyber Protection service, and then specify the registration token that you obtained when downloading the media.

To recover from cloud storage, select Cloud storage. Enter the credentials of the account to which the backed up machine is assigned.
When recovering Windows or Linux, you have the option to request a registration code and use it instead of the credentials. Click Use registration code > Request the code. The software shows the registration link and the registration code. You can copy them and perform the registration steps on a different machine. The registration code is valid for one hour.

To recover from backup locations on public cloud storage such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, Wasabi or S3 compatible, first click Register media in the Cyber Protection service, and then configure recovery using the web interface.
