In our previous guide: How To: Deploy Servers Or Workstation Protection, we utilized Scout's automation to deploy a backup with Veeam Agent for Windows (VAW). In this guide, we will demonstrate how to restore files using VAW.
Create a Local Veeam Agent for Windows Backup:
1. Open VAW Control panel from the taskbar:
2. In VAW Control panel, select the Menu Button, hover over the backup job automatically created by Probax Scout, then select Restore File:
3. In the File Level Restore window, choose the restore point applicable to your needs then select Next:
4. At the Summary step, select Open:
5. In the Veeam Backup Browser, navigate to the Folder or File you’d like to restore. Once located, right-click on the item, highlight Restore, then select Keep:
If the item already exists, Keep will restore the folder or file to its original location and prepend it with RESTORED.
6. A new window will open with the progress of the restore. Once the restore completes successfully, close the window:
7. Navigate to where the file existed previously to find that it has been restored successfully:
With this guide, you will have learned how to perform a File Level Restore using the backup job Scout deployed through Veeam Agent for Windows.
