# 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 file systems imported from all known disks. Select the device that contains the backup and press **Enter**.

   Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris will mount the selected device to the `/tmp` directory of the recovery image OS file system and displays the contents of the directory.


   ::: important

   To avoid a name conflict with the pool that will be created during the restore, Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris imports local ZFS pools with the `bmr_` prefix added to their original names (for example, `rpool` becomes `bmr_rpool`). Pool names are stored on disk. If you reboot the recovery image without renaming the pool back to its original name, the pool keeps the `bmr_` prefix after the machine boots into its original OS. To rename the pool back before rebooting, run `zpool export <bmr_pool_name>` and then `zpool import <bmr_pool_name> <original_pool_name>`.

2. Browse to the directory that contains the backup file, select the backup file and press **Enter**.

   Veeam Agent will import the selected backup file.

   Veeam Agent will also add the mounted local drive directly to the list of available backup locations.
