VAMW - How can I restore invidual files with Veeam Recovery Media ISO ?


Hi,

I was trying to restore individual files after booted in using the Veeam Recovery Media ISO (from USB stick) but not like in Windows it only supports restoring volumes I guess or am I missing something?

 

 

Thanks

Usually the ISO is used to restore volumes. If you need to restore files you can do it from the client within Windows.

You do not need the Recovery Media ISO to restore files.

You can restore it directly on Agent:

I know why this is confusing because the Linux Recovery Media does allow you to do file level restores:

The windows one only allows Bare Metal and Volume restores.
