Yes, see this guide...

Consolidated Backup in Vmware Infrastructure 3 - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_consolidated_backup.pdf

For Windows virtual machines, Consolidated Backup can automatically discover volumes within the virtual machine snapshot and make the volumes visible to the backup software. The backup software can then make file-level backups from these volumes.

Fyi…if you find this post helpful, please award points using the Helpful/Correct buttons.

Hello,

Yes, using a VCB Proxy it is possible to create a file level backup of a Virtual Machine.

Best regards,
