Vinchin Backup & Recovery offers a granular restore feature, allowing you to search and recover specific files or folders within an ZStack VM instead of restoring the entire VM. This feature addresses partial soft breakdowns effectively and aids in retrieving target files by restoring the ZStack VM to any point before mistaken deletion. As a fully independent solution, performing a granular restore has no impact on scheduled full ZStack backups, making it possible to quickly recover critical files when urgently needed.
