For data restore with the Veeam backup console, you can use Veeam Agent backups created on a Veeam backup repository. If you specified a local drive or network shared folder as a target for Veeam Agent backups, you need to restore data from such backups using Veeam Agent UI on a protected computer. You can perform the following data restore tasks with Veeam Agent backups in Veeam Backup & Replication:  Restore a Veeam Agent backup to a Hyper-V VM.  Restore individual files and folders from a Veeam Agent backup.  Restore application items from Veeam Agent backups with Veeam Explorers.  Export computer disks as VMDK, VHD or VHDX disks.  Restore data from a Veeam Agent backup to Microsoft Azure. 178 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1Restoring Veeam Agent Backup to Hyper-V VM You can use the Veeam Backup & Replication console to restore a Veeam Agent computer as a Hyper-V VM in your virtualization environment. For instant recovery to a Hyper-V VM, you can use backups created by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows on the Veeam backup repository. The procedure of instant recovery for a Veeam Agent computer practically does not differ from the same procedure for a VM. The main difference from instant VM recovery is that you do not need to select the recovery mode, because Veeam Agent computers are always restored to a new location. To learn more about instant VM recovery, see the Instant VM Recovery section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide at: https://www.veeam.com/documentation-guides-datasheets.html. 179 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1Restoring Files and Folders You can use the Veeam Backup & Replication console to restore individual files and folders from Veeam Agent backups. The procedure of file-level restore from a Veeam Agent backup practically does not differ from a regular one. The difference is the you select a Veeam Agent backup instead of a VM backup in the File Level Restore wizard. To learn more, see the Guest OS File Recovery section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide at https://www.veeam.com/documentation-guides-datasheets.html. 180 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1Restoring Application Items You can use Veeam Explorers to restore application items from backups created with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. Veeam Backup & Replication lets you restore items and objects from the following applications:  Microsoft Active Directory  Microsoft Exchange  Microsoft SharePoint  Microsoft SQL Server  Oracle For backups created by Veeam Agent backup jobs with guest processing options enabled, the procedure of application-item restore does not differ from the regular one. To learn more, see the Restoring Application Items section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide at https://www.veeam.com/documentation-guides- datasheets.html. 181 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1Exporting Disks You can restore computer disks from volume-level backups and convert them to disks of the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format. During disks restore, Veeam Backup & Replication creates standard virtual disks that can be used by VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs.  When you restore a disk in the VMDK format, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a pair of files that make up the VM virtual disk: a descriptor file and file with the virtual disk content.  When you restore a disk in the VHD/VHDX format, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a file of the VHD or VHDX format. You can save converted disks locally on any server added to the backup infrastructure or place disks on a datastore connected to an ESX(i) host (for VMDK disk format only). VMDK disks can be restored as thin provision and thick disks:  Disks restored to a datastore are saved in the thin provisioned format.  Disks restored to a server are saved in the thick format. VHD/VHDX disks are always restored as dynamically expanding. Veeam Backup & Replication supports batch disk restore. For example, if you choose to restore 2 computer disks, Veeam Backup & Replication will convert them to 2 virtual disks and store these disks in the specified location. To restore disks and convert them to the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format, use the Export Disk wizard. 182 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1Step 1. Launch Export Disk Wizard To launch the Export Disk wizard, do either of the following:  Open the Home tab and click Restore > Agent backup > Export disk contents as virtual disks.

In the policy statistics window, Veeam Backup & Replication displays information about policy application process and results. This information remains in the policy statistics window until the first Veeam Agent backup job session is performed on computers included in the backup policy.  After the Veeam Agent backup job session statistics becomes available in Veeam Backup & Replication, this statistics appears in the policy statistics window. The job session statistics becomes available in Veeam Backup & Replication at a different time depending on what target for backup files is selected in the backup policy settings: o If a Veeam Agent backup job whose settings are defined by the backup policy creates backup files on a Veeam backup repository, backup job session statistics becomes available in Veeam Backup & Replication immediately after the session completes. o If a Veeam Agent backup job creates backup files on a local drive of a Veeam Agent computer or in a network shared folder, backup job session results are not passed to Veeam Backup & Replication immediately after the session completes. Statistics for such backup sessions becomes available in Veeam Backup & Replication later, after rescan of a protection group that contains computers added to the backup policy. This process happens regularly upon the discovery schedule defined in the protection group settings.  Veeam Backup & Replication regularly applies the backup policy to protected computers. This operation is performed during automatic rescan of a protection group that contains computers added to the backup policy. If the application process completes with a warning or an error, Veeam Backup & Replication displays information about the application process results in the policy statistics window. Information about successful application of the backup policy is not displayed in the statistics window between two backup sessions. Veeam Backup & Replication displays statistics for backup policies in a different way than for Veeam Agent backup jobs managed by the backup server. The main differences are the following:  For backup policies, Veeam Backup & Replication does not display the job progress bar. You can monitor the job progress in Veeam Agent running on a protected computer only.  Detailed statistics include the number of Veeam Agent computers specified in the backup policy settings, the number of computers to which settings of the backup policy are applied, and the number of computes that have no connection to the backup server at the time when the Veeam Agent backup job is performed.  You can use the Errors, Warnings and/or Success buttons at the bottom of the job statistics window to view details on operations that failed, completed with a warning or completed successfully during a Veeam Agent job session performance. 201 | Veeam Backup & Replication | Veeam Agent Management Guide | 1To view Veeam Agent backup policy statistics: 1.
