With indexed backups, you can use wild card searches to find files/folders across all backups of the virtual machine, rather than mounting and browsing each backup individually. Simply select the files/folders and recover them to any Windows agent-based asset that has been added to your backup appliance.</p> <p>To start indexing a VMware VM's backups, select the Index Backups option in the Edit Assets dialog. Subsequent backups of the VM are indexed.</p> <table border="1"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><strong>NOTES:</strong></td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <ul><li>Assets with high-frequency backups or with very large file counts can add considerable load to the appliance.
