5. If you have saved as .zip download, you will be notified via email when the restore is ready to download. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the restore to complete, depending on the size. It can then be found in the "My Restores" page of your account. You can either click the "download" button next to the restore name to download directly from your browser, or for larger restores, download the Backblaze Downloader software, to facilitate your restore's download. Once it has been downloaded it should automatically save to your computer's "Downloads" folder.
