When editing an existing restore task you will see all the sections (steps) of the wizard you completed
while creating you restore task. All three steps of the wizard will appear on the screen at once. (For
further information,
please refer to “Managing Tasks” section (p. 82)).

9.2 File Recovery

Sometimes there is a need to recover just a single file or just a few files from a backup archive
without restoring the whole virtual machine. The File Recovery feature allows browsing the archive
and restoring the selected files for the pre-defined version of this archive (recovery point). The
recovery destination is defined by the available options provided by the Internet browser which runs
the vmProtect 9 Management Console (the dialogue is the same as you see when trying to save some
Internet page via File -> Save As… option).

Click Recovery -> Files and folders in the Actions tab of the main menu to restore one or several
backed up files. The File Recovery wizard opens in the main workspace area and asks you to provide
the required information and configure the necessary settings for the file recovery task. The wizard
consists of the two steps:

Select VM(s) to extract files from.

Explore recovery point.

NOTE: File Recovery feature is not available for backups saved in Acronis Cloud Backup storage.
You can only perform entire VM recovery from this type of backup storage.
