Restore an image as follows:
- 1. Click the Restore button and then select the backup format. The WIM format is only available for BST version 2.1.x.xx.
- 2. In the tree view, select the image you want to restore. Use the Map Network Drive button to integrate a network drive.

- 4. Select the storage medium on the industrial PC on which the image is to be restored.
