# Step 3. Select Organization

At the **Organization** step of the wizard, use the **Restore from** drop-down list to select a Salesforce organization whose files and attachments you want to restore. For a Salesforce organization to be displayed in the list, it must belong to the company specified at [step 1](restore_file_launch.md).

By default, files and attachments are restored to the same Salesforce organization. However, you can choose to restore files and attachments to another organization — to do that, use the **Restore to** drop-down list. For a Salesforce organization to be displayed in the list of available organizations, it must belong to the company specified at [step 1](restore_file_launch.md) and be compatible with the organization whose files and attachments you want to restore. This means that you can restore from a production or sandbox organization only to its sandbox copies.

::: important

If you choose to restore an encrypted file to a production organization, Veeam Backup for Salesforce will decrypt the file and fully restore its content. However, if you choose to restore an encrypted file to a sandbox organization, Veeam Backup for Salesforce will not decrypt the file for security reasons and therefore will create only an empty copy of this file.
