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

Last step chould be file explorer not AZcopy see documentation for windows because you mount a ISCSI drive to your VM

Right is 1 From the Azure portal, click File Recovery from the vault. 2 Select a restore point. 3 Download and run a script. 4 Copy the files by using File Explorer

so which is the correct steps please? For Windows VM it should be: 1 From the Azure portal, click File Recovery from the vault. 2 Select a restore point. 3 Download and run a script. 4 Copy the files by using File Explorer For Linux VM it should be: 1 From the Azure portal, click Restore VM from the vault. 2. Select Restore Point, 3. Download and run a script 4. Mount a VHD

Azcopy run in linux https://azure.microsoft.com/es-es/blog/azcopy-on-linux-now-generally-availble/

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.

The given answer is correct. you are copying the restored files to an ON-PREM machine. AzCopy is required https://gcits.com/knowledge-base/how-to-migrate-files-into-microsoft-azure-virtual-machines/

Why would I use azcopy when the restore point is mounted locally using the script.

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.

had in exam Its refers to a Linux machine but retrieving the file from an on prem windows p.c.. so selected windows explorer
