Before You Begin

Before you begin the restore process, check the following prerequisites:

• The backup from which you plan to restore data must be successfully created at least once.
• The backup from which you plan to restore data must be created by a backup job that has Personal files in the backup scope.
• An administrator or user that belongs to the veeam group, can view and restore all user profiles that are available in the backup file. A standard user that does not belong to the veeam group can restore only their own user profile. For more information on adding users to the veeam group, see Granting Permissions to Users.
• [For backups stored in network shared folders or in repositories managed by Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam Cloud Connect] You must have access to the remote target location where the backup file resides.
• [For repositories managed by Veeam Backup & Replication] If you plan to restore data from a backup stored on a Veeam backup repository, you must have access permissions on this backup repository. To learn more, see Setting Up User Permissions on Backup Repositories.
