Virtual Drive Recovery

In this article

Another data recovery option provided by Veeam Backup & Replication is restore of a specific hard drive of a VM. If a VM hard drive becomes corrupted for some reason (for example, with a virus), you can restore it from the image-based backup to any good-to-know point in time. The recovered hard drive can be attached to the original VM to replace a corrupted drive, or connected to any other VM. With the virtual drive restore, you can preserve the format of a recovered drive or convert the drive to the thin or thick format on the fly.
