Suggested Answer:

To restore files or folders from the recovery point, go to the virtual machine and choose the desired recovery point.
Step 0. In the virtual machine's menu, click Backup to open the Backup dashboard.
Step 1. In the Backup dashboard menu, click File Recovery.
Step 2. From the Select recovery point drop-down menu, select the recovery point that holds the files you want. By default, the latest recovery point is already selected.
Step 3: To download the software used to copy files from the recovery point, click Download Executable (for Windows Azure VM) or Download Script (for Linux
Azure VM, a python script is generated).
Step 4: Copy the files by using AzCopy
AzCopy is a command-line utility designed for copying data to/from Microsoft Azure Blob, File, and Table storage, using simple commands designed for optimal performance. You can copy data between a file system and a storage account, or between storage accounts.

In question, Its a Linux machine not Windows. So we have to use AZCopy

Nope. Also for Linux VM you download and run a script that mounts the paths to your localbox. A copy is for copying files that are still in the cloud. Doesn't apply in this case.

You should be mindful of when the files will be restored to? Question is a computer though source is Linux. Here in AZ-103 it doesn't say whether Windows or Linux but AZ-104 it says in Windows server. Only last step should be modified: Windows: Copy the files by using File Explorer Linux: Copy the files by using AZCopy

I think both step 4 should be [Copy the files by using File Explorer]? because azcopy is to get file still from cloud? and the disk already mounted during the step [Download and run a script]? for Linux VM, I am not talking about Windows File Explorer . I mean some kind of built-in file manager. i am a learner please correct me if I am wrong..

With the given option the answer should be copy the file using file explorer. Read this Microsoft article. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm "In Linux, the volumes of the recovery point are mounted to the folder where the script is run. The attached disks, volumes, and the corresponding mount paths are shown accordingly. These mount paths are visible to users having root level access. Browse through the volumes mentioned in the script output."

What would be the solution if the given VM is Windows (Instead Linux)?

The script should be run on a Linux machine because this is a Linux VM that you are trying to mount. The machine where the script/exe runs has to recognize the filesystem. The files to recover need to be recovered on an on-prem Linux machine as the source vm is Linux. I think we don't need AzCopy (because that's to copy from/to Azure, a mounted drive isn't actually "Azure") . We would need a File Explorer in Linux (or cp but that's not a given option). What do you think about this logic?

No need for AZCopy, you can use File Explorer: "When you run the executable, the operating system mounts the new volumes and assigns drive letters. You can use Windows Explorer or File Explorer to browse those drives. " https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm

azcopy is not needed, azcopy is to move files to azure storage, we need to move to on-premises. >> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy-copy so a simply cp or if the linux vm is using a gui use the explorer so step number four "copy files by using file explorer" see: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/instant-file-recovery-from-azure-linux-vm-backup-using-azure-backup-preview/

AZcopy is for copying Data in an out of storage accounts. This question should be for a windows VM if they want to use file explorer. On a Linux machine, a simple cp will work.

In step 4. AzCopy is the answer as the task is to copy From: Azure Linux virtual machine To: to an on-premises computer So for this specific question its AZcopy, if the machine were Azure Windows than it would be File Explorer

And because the scripts itself is mounting the vhd file so you don't need to do it by yourself, and you don't need to mention that in the answer (I guess).

I agree with ape421. The answer is File Explorer and other options are absolutely wrong. Virtual machine drive is saved as VHD file. Azcopy can not read the contents of VHD file but it would deal with the vhd file as-is like any video file. To read the content of the file you should mount the vhd file and then use the file explorer to read the contents.
