GBM currently does not support direct data restore from FTP/FTPS sites. In order to restore backed up data, the user needs to first download the backup files from the FTP/FTPS server using either an Internet browser, or a third party FTP software. It is recommended to use third party FTP software to download the backup set for better reliability and speed.
