You can recover data from backups created by Veeam Agent backup jobs configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. For data restore with the Veeam backup console, you can use Veeam Agent backups created on a Veeam backup repository. If you specified a local drive or network shared folder as a target for Veeam Agent backups, you need to restore data from such backups using Veeam Agent UI on a protected computer.
You can perform the following data restore tasks with Veeam Agent backups in Veeam Backup & Replication:
- Restore data from a Veeam Agent backup to Microsoft Azure.
- Restore data from a Veeam Agent backup to Amazon EC2.
- Restore computer volumes from a Veeam Agent backup.
- Restore individual files and folders from a Veeam Agent backup.
- Restore application items from a Veeam Agent backup with Veeam Explorers.
- Export computer disks as VMDK, VHD or VHDX disks.
- Export a specific restore point in a Veeam Agent backup to a full backup (VBK) file.
Restoring Data with Veeam Recovery Media
In addition to data restore tasks available in the Veeam backup console, you can also recover data on a Veeam Agent computer using the Veeam Recovery Media. To do this, you must have a backup of the computer whose data you want to restore and the Veeam Recovery media created for this computer.
- For a Microsoft Windows computer, you can create the Veeam Recovery Media with the Veeam backup console. To learn more, see Creating Veeam Recovery Media.
- For a Linux computer, you can download the Veeam Recovery Media from the Veeam website or create a custom Veeam Recovery Media. To learn more, see the Veeam Recovery Media section in the Veeam Agent for Linux User Guide.
The process of data restore with the Veeam Recovery Media in the Veeam Agent management scenario does not differ from the same process on a computer that runs Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
