Applies to: Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 or later.
Live browse initiates a pseudo-mount which constructs a device to store the blocks. The size of the staging folder must be at least 4 GB. The recommended size of the staging folder is 10% of the restore data, and it can be as large as the restore data. If the size of the staging folder is smaller than the restore data, then the extents are pruned based on the LRU (Least Recently Used) algorithm, for the new extent restores. This might result in decreased performance during the restore operation.
By default, the staging folder is in the job results directory. You can configure a different path to the staging folder.
Note
Live browse and file-level restore from block-level backups is not supported for tape libraries, VTLs, and cloud library that is configured as archive storage.
