Thank you, Egor.
My challenge is that I have a Hyper-V backup covering a multitude of virtual machines, one of them is a file server from which I occasionally need to restore files or entire folders. The job runs every day, and the retention time is 90 days. At times, users suddenly find out that one or more files or folders are missing from the file server, but they cannot remember when they were deleted. So, I need a method to quickly restore the most recent version.
The indexing feature of Enterprise Manager helps, unfortunately only with files, which is disappointing. When I select the Files tab, I can search for a file without knowing the machine backup that contains it, that's a progress compared to not having the indexing feature (meaning I need to mount and search in different machine backups). The file is displayed in the search results (I don't select "pick from list" 'cause this would set me back to the non-indexing method of searching), together with a restore point date. What I didn't find yet was a way to get a history of restore points displayed, together with an option to select a specific one.
