http://www.lemote.com/download/download_132.html 

The manual suggests you can press "tab" for restore. After that you can
choose to press "W" for restore from HD, "U" from USB, and "V" from
server. The whole process can be done from graphical interface as noted
from the screenshots inside the manual. Can you confirm that? I don't
have the Yeeloong machine in hand. If that is the case, this information
can be added to the wiki.
