    Veeam Backup & Replication offers a number of recovery options for various disaster recovery scenarios:

    • Instant VM Recovery enables you to instantly start a VM directly from a backup file
    • Full VM recovery enables you to recover a VM from a backup file to its original or another location
    • VM file recovery enables you to recover separate VM files (virtual disks, configuration files and so on)
    • Virtual drive restore enables you to recover a specific hard drive of a VM from the backup file, and attach it to the original VM or to a new VM
    • Windows file-level recovery enables you to recover individual Windows guest OS files (from FAT, NTFS and ReFS file systems)
    • Multi-OS file-level recovery enables you to recover files from 15 different guest OS file systems
