Restore from Other File Systems

You can restore file systems other than those listed in the File-Level Restore section. For this purpose, use the Instant VM Recovery technology.

To restore files and folders, do the following:

  1. Use Instant VM Recovery to publish the VM from the backup file on the Microsoft Hyper-V host in the virtual infrastructure. Do not start the recovered VM.
  2. Mount the disks of the restored VM to any VM that can read the file system of the original VM.
  3. Restore files or folders using native file management tools.

Alternatively, you can mount the VM disks to a Microsoft Windows VM and use file management tools.
