Hi,
I'm running VSC 4.2.1 under vCenter 5.5 with ESXi5.1 hosts.
I configured a Single File Restore session for one Windows Server VM and opened the backup list from the RA installed on that VM.
I choose the desired backup job an mount it as Z: drive without errors.
But when I go to Windows Explorer and click on the Z: drive, it appears to be empty.
I tried with different backup jobs including this VM, with the same result.
Does anyone have an idea why this mounted backup is empty?
Thx
Thierry

I found the reason:
the RA mounts only the first partition of the backup disk, which is a "system reserved" partition under WIndows 2008R2 or Windows 2012.
So to access the partition containing the backed up datas, go in Computer Management / Storage / Disk Manager and assign a drive letter to the second partition of the disk mounted by the RA.
THAT'S IT !!!
