File level restore

You can also restore specific files and directories inside a VM. It works with all your existing delta backups.

You must use the latest XOA release. When you connect with the console, you should see Build number: 16.12.20. If you have this or higher (eg 17.*), it means that's OK! Otherwise, please update your XOA.

Restoring individual files from an SMB remote is not possible yet, but it's planned for the future!

File level restore is only possible on delta backups

Restore a file

Go into the Backup/File restore section:

Then, click on the VM where your files are, and follow the instructions:

That's it! Your chosen file will be restored.
