Guest Files Index - Indexing existing restore points?

Post by crmunro »

Hello!

I've got a situation where I need to restore a copy of one particular file - one from every night for the past ~4 months.
This is obviously going to take a very long time to do manually, so I set about finding a way to do this a more automated way.

Apparently Enterprise Manager can help me here, using it's files search - which is awesome! However the VM in question did not have Guest Files Indexing turned on :(

Is there a way I can get Veeam to 'crawl' my existing restore points and build that files index? Otherwise I'll be spending a good few hours in front of Veeam restoring a backup of the file from each day... Lucky me!

Thanks :)

You can try to automate the process of file restoration: via Powershell go through restore points, execute Windows FLR for them (one by one), see whether the required file is present inside that, restore it, and proceed to the next point.
