Just a general question but every time I need to restore files that are found within a Hyper-V VM, it requires re-staging the entire VM which is a 500GB or larger vhd file. Is there any means of having the files accessible without this re-staging? I don't have the option of trial & error due to this being a production environment however it occured to me perhaps to add a 2nd stage to the backup and have that be some form of Files & Folder backup for the VM, and then let the standard full b ackup run that covers all files/state info on the host, and the Hyper-V agent-based backups for the virtual machines. Does that sound like how it should work or is there an option I'v enot considered?
If I install BE 2014, does this scenario change?
Thank you.
