Restoring files and folders from cloud virtual machines
You can restore a single file or folder from a cloud virtual machine.

- Click on the Virtual machines tab.
- Select the virtual machine where the application is hosted. On the top right, click Connect.
- After the VM is connected, on the top right, click Add protection.
- Select a protection plan that is created for granular recovery of files and folders and click Next.
- Click Protect.
- To execute the protection plan, click Backup now.
- After a snapshot and the two indexing job or two backup from snapshot job for the assets are complete, click the Recovery points tab.
