HyperV, cloud Backup and linux

[dejvv]

I am testing our backup as a monthly check and I have encountered an issue.

I am using hyperv with a cloudconnect backup repository with a local supplier.

I am managing to find the job when restoring windows files and managed to restore files successfully however when trying to restore a linux backup the cloud job is not available to choose.

What is the correct steps to do in order to restore a file from linux virtual machine?

Hi DG

It's not an issue—it's a known limitation.

Instant VM Recovery, multi-OS file-level restore, restore to Proxmox VE, restore to oVirt KVM, restore to Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2 from backups in the cloud repository are not supported on the tenant side.

We are aware of the request to allow FLR restore from Linux machine backups on a cloud repository, but no ETA yet to share.

As a workaround, you can copy the backup back to your local backup server and import the backup. From there you can start a FLR restore.
Or restore the entire VM as a temporary VM and copy the files you need from the temporary VM.

Best,
Fabian

Do you happen to have some instructions on how to do that, I am still a bit new to veeam

Should I go to the Home > Backups > Cloud > Select the VM > Restore vm files or export contents as virtual disks?
