Restore pictures, music, or other important files from Norton backup sets

You can easily restore your Norton Backup data if you are the victim of ransomware or other malware or if you experience unrecoverable hardware issues. You can choose to restore entire backup sets or specific files in a backup set. You can also determine where to restore backed up files.

Restore happens as per the configured backup set. If you restore to a new device, you cannot expect Norton to restore your files as per your desired folder structure of your old device.
