Restoring VM Files
You can restore specific VM files from the backup: VMDK, VMX and others (for VMware VMs) and VHD/VHDX, XML and others for Microsoft Hyper-V VMs. This scenario can be used, for example, if one of your VM files is missing or is corrupted and you need to bring it back.
VM files can be recovered to the latest state or to any good to know point in time. You can restore them to the original location or to a new location.
