VM File Recovery

In this article

    Veeam Backup & Replication can help you to restore specific VM files (.vhd/.vhdx, .xml and others) if any of these files are deleted or the volume is corrupted. This option provides a great alternative to full VM restore, for example, when your VM configuration file is missing and you need to restore it. Instead of restoring the whole VM image to the production storage, you can restore the specific VM file only.

    When you perform VM file restore, VM files are restored from regular image-level backups. Veeam Data Mover Services deployed on the backup repository and the Hyper-V host or the off-host backup proxy retrieve VM data from the backup file and send it to the original VM location, or to a new location specified by the user.
