File level recovery tab
This tab enables you to view details about file-level recovery objects (FLR) and remove them. File-level recovery objects restore files from host-level backups. For more information, see Recovering files from virtual machine backups.

Instant recovery tab
Instant recovery enables you to recover a failed or corrupted VM or Windows physical asset and begin using it almost immediately. An instant recovery job uses a backup or imported backup copy to recreate the VM or create a virtual replica of the Windows physical machine.
Select from a full backup, an incremental backup, or imported backup copy for the recovery. If you select an incremental backup, the appliance uses all previous backups or backup copies from the same backup group to recreate the VM.
Use these buttons to work with backups in the Instant Recovery table:
|
•
|
View Details: Show or hide the details pane. |
|
•
|
Edit: Displays the instant recovery configuration dialog for the selected object. |
|

|
Go Live: Places the instant recovery object into Live mode. Once in Live mode, instant recovery objects cannot be reset to another mode. All other options except Tear Down are unavailable. |
|
•
|
Audit: Places the instant recovery object into Audit mode. The selected object must be in Idle or Restoring mode. When in Audit mode, the button text changes to “End Audit” with the audit mode item selected in the table. When "End Audit" is selected, the object returns to normal mode. |
|
•
|
Tear Down: Removes the instant recovery object from the table. |
