Restoring Guest OS Files

The Files tab of vSphere Self-Service Backup Portal allows you to browse the guest OS file system in a VM backup and restore individual files. You can restore files from indexed and non-indexed guest OS file systems.

To restore files from a VM guest file system, go to the Files tab and follow the 1-click restore procedure. This procedure does not differ from the same procedure performed in the main Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager UI. For details, see Performing 1-Click File Restore.

Restoring Guest OS Files Note:

Consider the following:

If you restore files from a non-indexed VM guest OS, the mount operation will be performed using the mount server assigned to the backup repository that contains the backup of the VM.
If you restore files from a Linux VM, consider the recommendations provided in this article.
