VDP 6 application backup view backed up files ?

Hello Everyone

i'm using Sphère Data Protection 6.0 and i'm wondering if there is an option to view the backed up database files to restore them on my computer for example or to restore them to another place for testing perposes .

also is there an option to backup folders only not the whole partition because i checked and didn't find anything similar only the possibility to backup a partition or the full vm .

thanks for help

If the database file is in a VM you can do a file level restore.  If you backed up the database using a MSSQL agent you have to restore the backup to a database.

To answer the second part of your question, there is no option in VDP to backup folders alone.
