Restore a file from a tape

Post by aalonso »

Hi,
I have a doubt about restore a file from a tape.
If i try to restore a file from disk i do not have any problem, but, if i try to restore a file from a tape, i am not able to do it.
I achieved restore a VM from a tape but not a file from a tape.
What is the procedure to do it?
I need to do it for the job but it is impossible.
Thanks so much for your help.

Hello aalonso,

Unfortunately, it's not possible to restore file from vm inside of the backup on tape. In order to do that backup should be restored to a staging repository, then you can start file level recovery from the backup. Cheers!

That would be Restore from Tape to Repository process followed by Guest Files Restore.
Thanks!
