Performing File-Level Restore

You can recover individual files and folders from backups created by Veeam backup agent jobs. You can use Veeam backup agent backups stored on a Veeam Backup & Replication repository, Veeam Cloud Connect repository, local drive or network shared folder.

In Veeam Service Provider Console, you can restore files and folders to their initial location or download restored data to your computer. When you perform a file-level restore, Veeam Service Provider Console displays the backup content in the file-level restore portal. You can browse the guest OS files and folders, restore them to original location and overwrite or keep original objects or download ZIP archive with restored objects to your computer. When you restore guest OS files and folders, Veeam Service Provider Console connects to the Veeam backup agent installed on remote computer which performs the restore process.

To access the file-level restore portal, you must enable the file-level restore functionality in Veeam Agent plugin. For details, see Enabling File-Level Restore.
