# System Restore The System Restore section will allow you to select a System Backup file from a CIFS (Windows Share) and restore your system configuration and the email archive (if backup file includes email archive).

**Important: Before starting a System Restore, ensure that the backup is from a system with the same build number as the system you are restoring UNLESS you are migrating from Hermes SEG 14.04-32 to Hermes SEG 16.04-64.**

**Important: A System Restore will remove ALL System Backup and Email Archive Jobs you currently have. Ensure you take note of the job settings before you proceed**

**Important: If you are migrating from Hermes SEG Pro 14.04-32 to Hermes SEG Pro 16.04-64, you must send your valid NON-TRIAL serial number to support@deeztek.com so that we can enable re-activation for that serial number before you proceed with the steps below.**
