Before performing instant recovery of a File system backup:
• The DS-Client service account must be run under a local administrator account and have write access to the instant recovery vault.
• You must provide simple access to a share that is immediately accessible on your network.
• For Windows DS-Clients, special file system items (System State and Services Database) are not supported for instant recovery.
• For Linux DS-Clients, hard links and soft (or symbolic) links are not supported for instant recovery.
NOTE: When performing an instant recovery of a Windows File system backup, symbolic links are restored as files.

1. Click the Backup Sets tab.
2. Select the backup you want to instantly recover.
3. On the Restore menu, click Instant Recovery.
4. Select a backup session, and then click Next.
5. If you are using a Windows DS-Client, type the share name used to connect to the instant recovery data. You must map to this computer and share to access the data.
