Restoring Data from Veeam Agent Backups
You can recover data from Veeam Agent backups created by backup jobs configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. For data restore with the Veeam backup console, you can use the backups created on a Veeam backup repository. If you specified a local drive or network shared folder as a target for Veeam Agent backups, you need to restore data from such backups using Veeam Agent UI on a protected computer.
You can perform the following restore operations:
- Restore Veeam Agent backups to VMware vSphere VMs
- Restore Veeam Agent backups to Hyper-V VMs
- Restore Veeam Agent backups to Nutanix AHV VMs
- Restore Veeam Agent backups to Proxmox VE VMs
- Restore data from Veeam Agent backups to Amazon EC2
- Restore data from Veeam Agent backups to Google Compute Engine
- Restore computer volumes from Veeam Agent backups
- Restore individual files and folders from Veeam Agent backups
- Restore application items from Veeam Agent backups with Veeam Explorers
- Export computer disks as VMDK, VHD or VHDX disks
- Publish disks to analyze backup content
Restoring Data with Veeam Recovery Media
In addition to data restore tasks available in the Veeam backup console, you can also recover data on a Veeam Agent computer using the Veeam Recovery Media. To do this, you must have a backup of the computer whose data you want to restore and the Veeam Recovery media created for this computer.
- For a Microsoft Windows computer, you can create the Veeam Recovery Media with the Veeam backup console. To learn more, see Creating Veeam Recovery Media.
- For a Linux computer, you can download the Veeam Recovery Media from the Veeam website or create a custom Veeam Recovery Media.
The process of data restore with the Veeam Recovery Media in the Veeam Agent management scenario does not differ from the same process on a computer that runs Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
