    Hey there Gary W.12 - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Friday! 

     

    You should be able to restore your backups to your new computer by navigating your backups page online and downloading them from there. 

     

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

      I'm looking for a restore option, downloading hundreds of folders and thousands of files would take months
