:!: Versioning and deduplication is not supported on local USB/ESATA backups using Backup & Replication.  Install "Time Backup" add on from Package Center.

:!: Limitation of "Time Backup" is that it only backs up an entire volume/share.  Not single folders.

**DSM -> Main Menu -> Time Backup**

Select **Timeline** (tab) to choose the right version to restore.

There is a **Download** option under **Action** to save restored data locally.

:!: You should be able to also select versions with the timeline bar (dragging) at the bottom.
