FLR a VM with Bitlocker enabled

[B.F.]

Greetings,

Is there recommended way to do a File Level Recovery on a volume that has Bitlocker enabled? I found a few work around ways to do it but curious if there is a best practice. Also, is there any possible future plan get this to work?

Thanks

Hello,
You can use veeam agent :

Matteu,

This is great information to have but I don't think I was clear. The Bitlocked volumes in question is not a physical PC but a VM within vSphere. Veeam Agent isn't used but is backed up via Veeam like server VM's.

Hello,

I gave you a solution to your problem

What you have when you backup a VM in a vsphere environment with bitlocker enabled is expected. You can find it here :
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... a-recovery

"You cannot restore and browse guest OS files on disks encrypted by BitLocker."

If you want to use this feature, you have to use the agent.

Agent are not only for physical server. They are usefull on several usecase (cluster, avoid some vm backup limitation, ...)


I can't say you if there is a plan for it on the future. Veeam teams people are the only one to know it ^^
