File backup
File-level data protection is based on backing up files and directories residing on the machine where
the agent is installed or on a network share accessed using the smb or nfs protocol. Files can be
recovered to their original location or to another place. It is possible to recover all files and
directories that were backed up or select which of them to recover.

1.3.2. Bootable components and media builder

boots into the operating system again. The bootable components are based on the Linux kernel. You
can choose not to install the bootable components and perform operations that require reboot using
bootable media.
