    the problem was that i didn't choose them seperately inside of the main backup, i thought that i just can't download but i did by selective picking & downloading. very nice, solved

      I had an external hard drive that was backed up using Dropbox Backup fail.

      Can I restore an entire hard drive to a new one using Dropbox Backup?

        Hi dgallant, the option to restore a backup would only make a copy of a zip file of the external drive for you to download, which you can specify to download anywhere.

         

        Is there anything specific you're looking for regarding restoring the backup?

        No response. I offered to share with the product team and did not hear back. I am disappointed
