I want to restore files that I accidentally removed from my computer.
I use ubuntu 20.04 as my OS, Files (3.36.3-stable) as the file manager, and Déjà Dup Backup Tool (40.7) as the backup program
The Help for Déjà Dup Backup Tool says that in order to restore missing files:
Backup Help › Restoring Files » Restoring a Lost File Browse to the folder containing the file you lost. Click File ▸ Restore Missing Files…. When the Restore dialog appears, it will scan for files that are in the backup but no longer in the folder. When you see the file you want to restore appear, select it and click Forward. Review your selections and click Restore.
I am unable to find a menu "File", much less an menu item "Restore Missing Files….".
There is probably an extension that I need, but I haven't found a reference to support that thought.
Thanks
John

I removed Déjà Dup and then reinstalled it.
sudo apt-get remove deja-dup
sudo apt-get install deja-dup
then rebooted and logged in. Now if I right click in the folder, I have the menu item "Restore Missing Files…."
Thanks. Sorry for the bother.
John
