We ended up losing our file server disk, we make a backup with the Veeam agent because it is a physical machine, but several files are corrupted, and I can't get them out of Veeam, I saw that there is a Veeam tool that can help to recover these files but I couldn't find them.

Are you using Veeam Agent for Windows right?

The management are being made by Veeam Backup Server or Agent?

That should be ok you’re using the Agent @victor.rhoden . How are you attempting to do the restore? Did you create a recovery media ISO after you installed the Agent for you to be able to restore your files and/or Volumes? I don’t think the Extract Utiltiy will help you here as I believe it’s only to be able to restore virtual machine files, and not necessarily Volumes or Files from Agent backups.

Hello @coolsport00 I was restoring folder by folder and leaving aside files that were corrupted, this way I managed to restore 99% of the files, when Veeam was restoring the disk it found corrupted files and crashed. The only way I found to restore was folder by folder.
