There are two ways of selecting locations in the browsing window. First, you can select just a
location. In this case, you will see the whole tree-list (under the selected locations) of all the virtual
machines and all their archives stored in the selected location. Second, you can select both a location
and an archive, in which case you will see just the contents of this archive.
If the selected location contains any password-protected archives or archives of physical machines,
then the VMs included in these archives cannot be shown, and you will get a warning. In this case, in
order to restore your data from these archives, you have to specify its name directly in the Browse
pop-up.
The selected location is scanned for archives and their contents. As a result of the scan, on the left
side you will see a tree-list of the virtual machines included in all archives stored in the selected
location or inside the selected archive. By clicking on any virtual machine, you can check the list of all
its recovery points on the right side.
For each machine, the latest recovery point is selected by default. The recovery point could be
changed by clicking on it. Note that File Recovery allows the selection of just a single Virtual Machine
and single recovery point at a time, while the Restore Backup task allows recovery of several VMs.
After selecting the recovery point for the virtual machine you can proceed to the next step. This
recovery point defines the virtual machine state which you want to extract files or folders from.
