# Selecting Local Drive

The **Select local disk** step of the wizard is available if you have selected to restore data from a backup file located on a machine drive.

1. Veeam Recovery Media wizard displays the content of the volume groups imported from all known disks. Select the device that contains the backup and press **Enter**.
