# Version Control and Restoring Files

Every time you delete or change a configuration, rule set or data file, the console automatically creates an internal backup so that it can be retrieved later.

To restore a file, select the type of file to restore by clicking its type *(configuration, rule sets, test data or data files)* in the administration tree.

Select the appropriate repository to restore to and click on **Restore**. The restore options panel appears as shown:

To restore a file, select the timestamp that is closest to the time you wish to restore to, and a list of available files for that timestamp will be shown. Select all of the files you wish to restore *(hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files)* and click on **Restore**. The system will automatically backup any files you may be overwriting and will restore the older version.

If you wish, you can clear the repository prior to performing the restore.
