3. Locate the backup image:

On the recovery interface, you need to locate the backup file containing the virtual machine you want to restore. Click on "Select Image File" or a similar option to browse the backup image. This file should have been created during the initial backup process and stored in a designated backup location or medium. • If the backup is stored on an external drive, CD/DVD, network share, or cloud storage, ensure that the relevant device is connected, the CD/DVD is mounted, or the network path is accessible before attempting to find the file.
