@scottalanmiller are you saying that Veeam doesn't have file level restore for Linux like it does for Windows?
I don't know if it does and was not meaning to comment on if it did or not, only that the described "it doesn't matter" most definitely does matter for a lot of use cases.
aww - yeah i agree - it definitely does matter.

With Hyper-V you can do a file level restore (FLR) on any non windows OS, but it has to mount the backup into a FLR helper appliance that veaam will create on one of the hosts. Then you get to select the file(s) and choose to restore with overwrite or keep, like normal.
I assume the process is similar for VMWare.

With a Windows guest, you can restore directly from the backup, without needing to mount an FLR appliance.
-
When you close the wizard, it disposes of the appliance.

Is this with Hyper-V, VMware hypervisors or both?

When it comes to a web server where it is used as a shared server option, restoring the whole VM back to a time just for one sites file wouldn't be that useful. What I am thinking is enabling Veeam for VM backup and since our servers have cPanel schedule a daily cPanel backup to a storage. So that if something only affects an account, i can simply restore that via cpanel

For windows guests? it is both. I have never tried a file level restore of a linux VM on VMWare. I no longer have any VMWare hosts to test it on either.

You can do file-level restores with Veeam for VMs with Linux guests running on VMWare. Veeam will mount a FLR appliance to one of your hosts and give you the ability to select the files to restore.

So exactly the same as with Hyper-V as I would expect, just did not know for certain.

I am currently working on the storage planning for Veeam and found this site http://rps.dewin.me/
