Performing File-Level Recovery

In case a disaster strikes, you can recover corrupted or missing files of an Azure VM from a cloud-native snapshot or image-level backup. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure allows you to download the necessary files and folders to a local machine, or restore the files and folders of the source Azure VM to the original location, using the File-level recovery browser.

To recover files and folders of a protected Azure VM, do the following:

  1. Launch the File-Level Recovery wizard.
  2. Select a restore point.
  3. Configure restore settings.
  4. Specify a restore reason.
  5. Finish working with the wizard — start a recovery session.
  6. Choose files and folders to recover.
  7. Stop the recovery session.
