File restore

[Piotr-ABS]

Hello, I have the files obtained with the Backup Extraction Utility. In my file I have disk-sized files marked with the volume SID, how to open or mount them in order to extract a few files?

Hi Piotr,

To clarify, are you trying to restore guest OS files of a physical machine?

Thanks

[Piotr-ABS]

Hi,
no, it needs to take out two files that are damaged in the current backup.
veem-backup.extractor> * .vbk file and how to get to files in disk image,

Extract file, disk file = 5654-343-3444-2324-e43554564646

Thanks

Piotr,

I would ask it one more time. "Files that are damaged in the current backup" - these are guest OS files of a physical machine, correct? If not, could you please specify what files are you asking about?

Thanks in advance.

Wishr,
no, these are not guest system files, it needs application files.
I have standalone backups that Veeam doesn't normally see in * .vbk repository, unpacked them with an extractor, got hdd image files. How to get to the image and what format is it in? one files 600 GB


Thanks

The easiest way to restore files (or application items) is to import the backup into VBR and then follow the common data recovery procedure.

I hope it helps. Thanks.

Thanks
So I need to have the Veeam Backup & Replication package installed, Veeam Endpoint Backup alone is not enough?

Piotr-ABS,

1. Backup Extraction Utility does not support agent backups. You need to run file level recovery for that.
2. To restore / view content of the backup you can start file level recovery via Veeam Agent for Windows FLR utility or via Veeam B&R console (can use community edition for that). Later might help if metadata file is missing (can recreate one during import).

Thanks,
FLR requires / vbm,
but i have .vbs files, no .vbm file
And here I have a problem. I have a full .vbs file that the agent can't see, and I can get to it?

A vbs file is not a veeam file. Vbs are visual basic scripts.
I have never heard of this file extension in veeam.

If you talk about vbk files, you can import them without the vbm file to a vbr server.

Mildur,

Thanks,
FLR requires / vbm,

FLR requires / vbm,

You can install Veeam backup & Replication Community edition. It can import vbk files without the vbm file, if you have lost the vbm file.
After the import, you will be able todo a FLR or even a application item level restore.
