Hi all,
What's the best backup solution for a 17TB Azure VM? I recently had a request to recover a file from a 17tb VM, we run an Azure backup solution for the VMs. After few failed attempts to carry out file recovery restore, I ended up restoring the whole VM just to recover a file, which really does not make sense. My other question if there is no other solutions, I run a MARS backup as well as an Azure back on a VM?

    @iykeomezi If you have followed the documentation for 'File recovery' and unable to restore successfully, I would appreciate sharing more details and error message screenshots for the failed attempts.

    For now, you can try MARS agent on Azure VM for backup and restore of files and folders. Hope that suffice your requirement.
