In a Microsoft Windows domain where the domain controller is a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server, backups are normally done on a daily basis to the server. From the Dashboard, which is accessible from the Launchpad, on a client computer you can restore files and folders from backups on the server by these steps. You will have the option of selecting which of the daily backups you wish to use to restore the client computer.
The Launchpad on the client computer also provides the capability to initiate a backup from the client to the server and to check on the status of the last backup of the client to the server.
