I’ll try and post a little pop quiz question each day, hope to hear from many of you. Did you know the answer? Did you look it up in the documentation? Did you try it in a lab? Please share some details along with your answer.
I need to restore some files from one of my virtual servers. I want to do it from my laptop and copy the files to the correct destinations using a local file management tool called Norton Commander What should I do to be able to locally see and copy the files from my laptop to the destination?

Install the Veeam Console to your laptop; go into the Disk section of the Home node of VBR, rt-click the VM and select ‘Restore Guest Files’ > Microsoft Windows. Select the Restore Point wanting to restore from then use the FLR Backup Browser to retrieve the files to your laptop (rt-click files and select ‘Copy to’, then browse to a location on your laptop). Then use Norton Commander (never heard of that tool before) to place the files in their desired destination….I hope :)

That sounds about right to me as well.
Not sure if I get this question correct.
The restore to the backup works as @coolsport00 described.
The copy from the laptop to the virtual server is the complete outside of Veeam. You have to open a SMB or SSH connection to the virtual server and copy with Norton Commander the necessary files via this connection. I have no clue if Norton Commander can use a SMB or SSH connection, but I assume it can
First of all, you need to use Veeam B&R Console on your laptop. After that you can do the restore through the “Restore Guest Files” option. Inside the window “backup browser” remember to use the button “copy to” to choose the local path on your laptop. After that you can use any management tool to copy to the final destination.
Obs. 1 : I used my homelab to remember all steps.
Obs. 2: I have never heard about Norton Commander before.
I have seen Norton Commander, but this was at MS-DOS times…
At these ancient times a network connection was very out of scope for a pupil
Does the Norton Commander still exist?
Copy to does not allow me to browse all files on the VM from my laptop with the local tool Norton Commander… maybe I could click some button to allow this?

I feel old now
Aha… the last windows version was published in the year 2000…

I feel old, too But we have some golden memories
And you are younger than me… so don’t complain
@haslund Ah, ok. Looks like the ‘Mount to Console’ button in the Backup Browser. Hovering over it shows it’s functionality:
Is this a new feature for v11? Or maybe with v10?

Would you use the Open in Explorer button and then use this with Norton Commander to copy your files to the destination (if integrated in to the Windows shell for Explorer)?

Actually this looks to be the right answer. Good one @coolsport00

Oh, this sound good.
I have never seen this option or used it before. Always used the copy to and copied then from this machine. Learned again something new...
Never seen it myself; or, I just overlooked it cuz I never needed it (never used any 3rd party tool; Rasmus is a rebel that way )

Mateus, you are too young to know Norton Commander

Nice @coolsport00 , I didn’t know. Nice to detect every day new things, unbelievable.
And yes, Norton Commander is from the old days, I do not know if it still exists.
I know that if Norton is in the name, I don’t like it ;-)
Thanks! ..and same. Was never a Norton fan. Never heard of, thus never used. ‘Commander’ myself. And, I am (almost) old
What should I do to be able to locally see and copy the files from my laptop to the destination?
so don’t complain
