Restoring file-level backups

About restoring file-level backups

Restores using shared network drives: This method does not require an instance of NetVault Backup Client running inside the virtual machine. Restores are performed to the shared network drives on the virtual machines, using the Plug-in for FileSystem installed on the plug-in host. Since the Plug-in for FileSystem is automatically installed on the NetVault Backup Client, no additional software is required for this type of restore.
Restores using native Plug-in for FileSystem: This method is suitable if an instance of NetVault Backup Client is already running inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine is treated as any other physical NetVault Backup Client for the file system restores.
