To restore VMware files and folders using agentless restore

1. Confirm the target VM is powered on.
2. On the left, click Workloads > VMware.
3. Locate and click on the VM that contains the files and folders for restore.
4. Click the Recovery points tab. In the calendar view, click the date on which the backup occurred.

   The available images are listed in rows with the backup timestamp for each image.

5. On the image you want to recover from, click Restore files and folders.
6. Specify the files and folders you want recovered. Then click Next.

   If you do not see the correct directory structure, click Switch to instant access. Note that instant access must be supported for the recovery point. If you still do not see the expected files and folders, start over and select a different recovery point.

   See Create an instant access VM.

   After you switch to instant access, all selected files are removed and all recovery options are reset. A new recovery begins of files and folders using instant access. If you want to switch back to agentless single file recovery again, you need to cancel the recovery wizard and restart.

7. Specify the target VM to which you want the files and folders recovered, as well as the administrator credentials for the target VM. Click Next.
8. Click Next.
9. Specify additional recovery options for the restored files and folders. Click Next.

   NetBackup performs a pre-recovery check using the options you specified.

10. Review displays the status of the pre-recovery check along with the options you selected for the recovery. Once you confirm that they are correct, click Start recovery.
