• System Update Sets -> Retrieved Update Sets. Scroll to very bottom of the page, and select Import XML.
• Provide the file. 
• Once an update set is imported into DEV, it will just be a local copy until the update set is applied. 
• Admin will need to Preview, resolve issues with Preview, then Commit.
• Commit order will need to follow the order specified in the documentation relevant to the Requirement being restored. See spreadsheet and supporting documentation about the order the update sets were applied to TEST when they were under development.
• The folder structure is confusing, and is based on the spreadsheet. If you have trouble finding an update set, just use the find command on unix or similar trick to navigate the tree while searching for the file pattern.
• Backeberg had proposed merging the update sets before export, but it was decided not to do that. Merging would have dramatically shrunk the collection of update sets to retain and reapply in the future.

Auditing the update sets

Backeberg walked through the collection of update sets, and cross-referenced those with the zip file from the box share. He found a full collection of update sets, and set the clone over DEV for Aug. 1, 2014.
