How to Search within Backups for Workday

The Find feature enables you to search the entire backup history and easily retrieve any record or attachment. This capability enables you to comply with regulations, and initiate a restore job from the results found.

Find is an advanced full-text search capability available in all your backup snapshots. The tool searches all fields, on all standard and custom reports, and more.
