1. In the File Browsing page, You can browse the partitions in the VM that you selected, as well as directories and child directories in the navigation tree. Select directories or files to restore in the main pane. Or, you can use the search field to search files or directories in the VM.

2. Click Restore to download the files that you selected.

Tip. If you select multiple files to restore, these files you can download an archive file in .zip format that contains all files to restore.

Use the Absolute option to keep the original directory structure in the archive file. Or, use the Relative option to store all files in the root directory of the archive file. For example, assume that you are restoring the file in your Linux system: /home/dee/invoice.txt and /home/cate/flower.jpg in Partition 2. With the Absolute option, the archive file includes these two files with the nested directories: disk2/dev.sda1/home/dee/invoice.txt and disk2/dev.sda1/home/cate/flower.jpg. With the Relative option, invoice.txt and flower.jpg are stored in the root directory of the archive file without making any child directories in it.

1. Close the file restore dialog. You can select either keeping the mounted image for the recovery point until the expiration time or remove the image.
