Feature Description:

When files in the virtual machine are deleted or damaged by mistake, the tenants can recover important files of the virtual machine through the backed-up files, and file recovery is supported for Windows and Linux operating systems.

Precautions:

1. The HCI cluster managed by SCP supports a limited number of file recovery sessions, and each node supports a maximum of 3 sessions. For example, a 3-node HCI cluster supports up to 9 sessions at the same time.
2. Currently, file recovery only supports Windows NTFS, FAT32 file system format, and Linux system ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs file format.
3. The browse of files containing special characters, such as (!@#$%^&*), is not supported.
4. It doesn’t support the browsing of file sizes bigger than 5GB.
5. When the backup of the virtual machine is stored in sffs, the soft connection file of the virtual machine is linked to /proc, and file download is not supported in the /run directory.
