Browsing Backup Contents

Parallels Power Panel allows you to browse the directory structure of any Container backup as if this backup had already been restored and restore only the needed files and folders. The Browse Backup page opens after you follow the Browse Backup link on the Backup Details page.

The contents of any directory inside a backup is presented in the table providing the following information:

Column Name

Description

T

The icon in this column indicates if this is a directory or a file.

Name

The name of the directory or file.

Size

The size of the file.

Modified

The date and time of the last modification of the directory or file.

Permissions

Linux The standard Linux permissions for the directory or file.

User

Linux The owner of the directory or file.

Group

Linux The owner group of the directory or file.

Actions

Allows you to download a file to your local computer provided it is not part of an OS or application template.

It is worth noting that if you are browsing an incremental backup, the information is shown not only on the files and folders from this backup, but on all the contents of the Container, should it be restored from this incremental backup. In other words, the backed up Container is always presented in its integrity and not as a collections of sporadic changes from the incremental backup.

To restore separate files and folders from the backup to the actual Container, just select them by ticking the corresponding checkboxes in the rightmost column and click the Restore link.
