File-Level Recovery

To recover VM files and folders from a backup, Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore performs the following steps:

1. Mounts disks of the backed-up VM to either of the following instances:

• To the backup server or a mount server — if the VM guest OS is Microsoft Windows.
• To the helper host — if the VM guest OS is a Linux-based operating system.

2. Launches the Veeam Backup Browser.

The Veeam Backup Browser displays the directory structure of the backed-up VM. In the browser, you select the necessary files and folders to restore.

3. Restores the selected files and folders to the original location or to a new location.
4. Detaches the disks from the backup server, mount server or helper host.
