8 File Recovery
Sometimes there is a need to recover just a single file or just a few files from a backup archive
without restoring the whole virtual machine. The File Recovery feature allows browsing the archive
and restoring the selected files for the pre-defined version of this archive (recovery point). The
recovery destination is defined by the available options provided by the Internet browser which runs
the vmProtect Management Console (the dialogue is the same as you see when trying to save some
Internet page via File->Save As… option).
Click File Recovery in the Home tab of the main menu to restore one or several backed up files. The
File Recovery wizard opens in the main workspace area and asks you to provide the required
information and configure the necessary settings for the file recovery task. The wizard consists of the
two steps:
What to recover.
Explore recovery point.
8.1 What to Recover
First, you should define your backup location which will be then scanned for archives and their
contents.
Click Browse to select the location and/or archive. In the pop-up window with the browsing options
you can define the path and/or the archive name. Here you can also see the locations which were
used before under Recent Locations item.
