Fetching data from another machine

Support
1

Hello!

i use Kopia UI for a while without problem on multiple machines.
Yesterday one machine crashed and i am now wondering how to connect from another machine to fetch the crashed one’s files ?
The interface states : “To connect to a repository or create one, select the preferred storage type:“ but it never asks if the repo has to be created. Is there a risk i will overwrite my data from the previous machine if i insert the same parameters in the storage config ? Or will Kopia UI prevent it ?

Or is there a simple example of how to connect to an existing repository from Kopia UI ? I searched the doc but with no success.

Thanks

If you enter details of an existing repository then kopia simply connects to it. New repo is created only in case if nothing exists in destinations you point to.
