Mounting a recovery point from Windows Explorer

Opening and restoring files within a recovery point

You can also manually mount a recovery point as a drive by opening your backup
destination folder in Windows Explorer.
You can use Windows Explorer to search the contents of the recovery point. For
example, if you cannot remember where a particular file was originally stored,
you can use the Explorer search feature to locate the file, just as you would locate
a file on your hard drive.

The recovery point is located in the storage location that you selected when
you defined your backup.

The file opens in the program that is associated with that file type. You can also
restore files either by saving them using the application associated with them, or
by using the Recover Files button in the Recovery Point Browser.
If the file type is not associated with a program, the Microsoft Open With dialog
box is displayed. You can then select the correct program for opening the file.
Note: You cannot view encrypted file system (EFS) NTFS volumes.
