Recovery

Recovery restores your original source from files that were protected with the Recovery option. It works completely offline. See Recovery for how it works.

1. Recovery key — paste your recovery private key, or pick one from your Vault when it’s open. It must match the public key the files were protected with.
2. What do you want to recover? — choose File / archive for a protected .php file or a .zip archive, or Folder for a folder of protected files. For an archive or a folder, the Choose files window lists the protected files; untick any you don’t want to restore. It works like the one in the Encoder, with Select all and a filter. .php files that aren’t protected are marked not protected and can’t be selected; tick Show other file types to see the rest of the project too.
3. Output folder — choose where the restored files go. It must be outside the files you are recovering.
4. Also copy non-protected files (off by default) — tick it to copy everything else (images, templates, files that were never protected) into the output too, so you get the complete project back — except what’s on the never-copy list.
5. Press Recover.

When it finishes you see Recovery complete, Recovery finished with errors (some files couldn’t be restored — see View details), or Nothing was recovered. If nothing was recovered, check that the key matches: files protected without Recovery, or with a different recovery key, can’t be restored. Your choices are kept so you can try again with another key.

oxrion-recover does the same from a terminal.
