3. From the restore types available, select the File Level Recovery option and click Next to begin the restore process.
   
4. Choose the restore version from the tree. The restore version depends on the retention settings you have configured. Click Next to continue with the restore process.
   
5. The next step is to configure the restore data for the restore. The ESXi hosts/VMs added will be displayed. Expand the list and select the files to be restored. You can select multiple files from multiple machines in a single recovery job. Once done selecting the required files for the restore click Next to proceed with the restore process.
   

Note: FLR is not supported for Non-Windows OS machines, System volumes, and Dynamic RAID volumes.
