Backups & restore points · Versions and restoring

Can I get a file back exactly as it was at a particular time?

Short answer: Yes, if a version from around then exists. Open Versions…, pick the version just before the moment you want, then Browse Files… and restore the file. Older history is thinned to daily, weekly and monthly points.

Yes, as long as a version from around that time exists. Every backup is a point in time, so open Versions…, choose the version made closest to — and before — the moment you want, then Browse Files… and restore the file.

With the default As things change mode, versions are made shortly after each change, so recent history is fine-grained. Further back, history is thinned to daily, weekly and monthly points, so choose the nearest one.
