Before you can work with the backup contents using Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server, you need to obtain database files located in the backup.
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 File. 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 SQL Server Database Restore Wizard. See this section to know how to obtain database files using Microsoft SQL Server Database Restore Wizard.
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.
