    Hi, I've recently tried to restore my external hardrive by hooking it up and going into Seagate manager, but the restore option simply doesn't show up, any reason why this might be happening, thanks. I select the drives option, then backup option like it tells me, but restore doesn't appear.

    I presume you performed a backup previously?

    Yes when I select and open the external harddrive icon as an f drive previous backups are showing up 3 backups actually, all compressed when I go into the folders I don't go further then that then.

    To restore the most recent version of a file that you backed up to your drive:
    Step 1: Click My Drives in the Command panel.
    The My Drives page opens.
    Step 2: Select your drive.
    Step 3: Click Backup.
    The Backup window opens.
    Step 4: Click Restore the most recent version of a backed up file to restore the latest
    version of a file.

    Are these the steps you are following?

    Yep I've done all that, the restore option doesn't seem to show up when I get to that point though, wonder why that could be?
