Download the restore zip file

Backblaze will email you when your restore file has been prepared. It can take anywhere from a minute to a few hours depending on the size of the download file. You can then click on the 'My Restores' page and download the zip restore. Usually, your web browser (Safari, Firefox) will download the restore file to your 'Downloads' folder. Wait for the download to complete and then double click the zip file to decompress the files.

Copy Restores to the Correct Folder

The restore file should unzip in your 'Download' folder. Open the new folder to view the restored file. In another window, go to Macintosh HD > Users > YOURNAME > Library > Mail
We recommend creating a new folder called 'old' and put your local copy of the Apple Mail files inside. Then select and move your restored files from the Download folder to the local Mail folder.
