HI, you can try the Rollback functionality, but it depends if your profile/s were already configured to use Versioning (whereby a number of different Versions of the backup copies are stored at any one time) whether the (number and modified-dates of) any available Rollback-candidates will (a) exist at all and/or (b) be near enough to your target date (22nd) to suit your purpose.

Example: if you didn't configure the profile to save multiple Versions of recently modified files, you may find that for a file modified on a daily basis (and backed up likewise), the instance modified on 22nd (that you would presumably like to retrieve) may now have been overwritten by more recent modifications on 23rd, 24th, etc., and the single backup copy now available for Rollback may only be the instance that was modified & backed-up on 25th (no trace of the copy modified 22nd may now be available). Similarly, if you did set up Versioning but set it to keep only 2 Versions (or, 'for 2 days') you might also be out of look.

It really boils down to 'what you can retrieve depends on what you previously told SyncBackPro to store' (also, your change-pattern and run-pattern).

'out of look' (end of middle para) should of course read 'out of luck' :(
