Please review the information below in order to understand the functions and limitations of vRanger’s Linux file-level recovery feature ●Linux file-level recovery requires the vRanger virtual appliance. ●vRanger requires you to recover the Linux files to an intermediate Windows machine. When you recover Linux files to a Windows machine, you will lose the file permissions. ●The source VM properties needs to show the OS type as Linux. If this is not configured properly, vRanger will not identify the savepoint as a Linux VM.
