Individual File Recovery
Using the vmPRO SmartView feature, you can recover individual files within exported virtual machines
(VMs) by mounting CIFS shares to your local system.
Note:You cannot recover individual files from NFS shares.
Note:This process is separate from the VM recovery process. If you use a third-party application to
back up data, you must use that application to recover the entire VM. See Recovering VMs Backed Up
with a Third-Party Application.
Prerequisite
Before you can access the mounted CIFS share, you must configure the Mountoptions setting on the
vmPRO appliance to point directly to the location of the SmartMotion backups. This setting provides file-
level access to the backups at the \\<vmPRO-Host_IP>\recover\files directory on the CIFS share. For
instructions on how to configure the Mountoptions setting, see Configuring NAS Targets for
