  2. If the IMSMA Control Centre icon is not already displayed in the lower, right corner of your Window’s desktop, double-click the IMSMA Tray Launcher icon on your computer’s desktop.
  3. Right-click the IMSMA Control Centre icon that is displayed in the lower, right corner of your Window’s desktop.
  4. Select IMSMA Backup and Restore > Restore.
