Is it possible to access individual files in a backup WHS of client PC's?
- I'm curious if there is a way to access individual files in a backup that WHS makes of the client PC's?
Let's say you accidentally delete some files in a folder on your desktop but you know those files are stored in a backup on WHS. The obvious way to get those files back is do a complete restore with the restore cd but I want to know if it's possible without resorting to that?

Yes, you can restore individual files. Open the Console, go to Computers & Backups tab, select the computer that you deleted the file from then click View Backups. Then click the Open button to view all of the volumes/folders/files in that backup.- Propuesto como respuestakariya21MVP, Moderadormartes, 06 de enero de 2009 3:56

- Yes, follow kariya21 instruction to open a volume (drive) that contains the files in question. It will mount the volume as a local drive in your machine. You then can access the local mounted drive and do copy & paste your files in Windows Explorer.
