Restoring files from a Virtual Machine

[iversa]

I'm using Veeam Backup on a Windows Hyper-V server. It works great to make backups and I can restore a virtual drive and them mount to copy files from it. But the problem I'm having is with a virtual drive from a file server that stores user files that are restricted to the owner. I can take ownership of the folder and gain access but still, all of the files in the user folder can't be copied before going to each file security/permission and grant my user full permissions. What is a solution to this so that I could easily copy files from my mounted drive that I have restored?

Hello,
can you maybe explain what you mean with "mounted drive". Where do you mount what and how?

In the end, you need permissions, yes.

Best regards,

I restore the virtual drive on the VM Host and then right-click to mount it on the VM Host

Hello,
we can only restore from the VBR console. Inside the VM there is nothing to restore a virtual drive. Can you maybe point to the user guide or or describe each click?

In the console we have "Restore virtual disks" and "instant disk restore".

Did you try this: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100 ?
