Restore NAS files from USB drive

[JeWe]

Hi,

using V12, we backup our file shares from a NAS. To get an offsite backup, we copy the backup files to an external USB drive. If needed, we want to restore the backup directly from the external drive.
Question: How to do that? Is that possible without adding the USB drive as a backup repository?
If i attach the USB drive to the backup server, I've no clue how to start a restore directly from the USB drive. The only files linked to Veeam are .vlob files, but I'll need the whole backup archive.

Regards,
Jens

Hello,
yes, you need to add the USB disk as repository first.
