Restoring to VHD/VHDX
The A2 features a convenient way to restore image files files quickly, without running a job.
- Browse to the UNC network path \\your.a2.ip\restore.
- Use your Alike user account to log in (see Advanced topics here).
- From here, you should see one or two directories. One if you have offsite vaulting disabled, two if you have it enabled.
- Browse into the directory of your choice.
- Here your should see a list of all your VMs. Browse in to see a list of backup timestamps.
- Browse in to see a directory containing VHDX, VHD, IMG, and file-level restore directories.
Alike's restoreFS renders IMG, VHD, and VHDX files representing each of your backup's disks. These files are generated on-demand out of Alike's deduplicated data store. You can copy these files out of the restoreFS as needed.
