Before you start browsing the database content using Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Sharepoint, you need to obtain database files located inside the backup of the VM. To know how to obtain database files, see the following section:
- Using VeeamZIP File. See this section to know how to obtain database files using a VeeamZIP file.
- Using Backup or Replica. See this section to know how to obtain database files using Guest OS Restore wizard and then browse the content of the VM using in-built Veeam Backup Browser.
- Using Microsoft SharePoint Item Restore Wizard. See this section to know how to obtain database files using Microsoft SharePoint Item Restore Wizard.
- Locating Content Database File Manually. See this section to know how to locate the content database files manually.
When you use Veeam Backup & Replication data recovery features, the file system of the VM is mounted using the local mount server and can be added to the application scope either automatically or manually.
