Just pick Freeware when activating the product

I assume you are using PRO version, correct? there is also a freeware version that doesn't require any paid licenses.

CloudBerry Explorer is a file manager for cloud storage services. There shouldn't be any specific issues with installing it on a virtual endpoint. Have you tried installing it? You can download it here: https://www.msp360.com/explorer/

Please open a support case and DM me your case number. We will look what we can do to help you.

What are the plans? VM backup or just regular file based/image based plans? I will file a feature request for this.

no plans to retire standalone. Can you tell more about your scenario. why you need different email addresses per plan?

in the standalone version you can specify only one email address per installation for email notifications. In managed backup you can have multiple or specific email address per plan

are you using standalone or managed backup?

Answering your questions:

File Size and Type::- Are there specific file sizes or types that are known to cause issues during restoration ?? Any best practices to handle large files ?? — Stevesss

Generally file size and type doesn't affect restore speed. That large number (I mean millions) of small files can slow down the restore process.

Internet Connection::- Could fluctuations in my internet connection be causing these delays and failures: ?? What can I do to mitigate this: ?? — Stevesss

Bandwidth of course can impact restore speed. Get a stable and fast internet connection or do local backups

Restore Points::- Is it more efficient to restore from the most recent backup point or should I consider restoring from an older point: ?? — Stevesss

Doesn't matter. Large number of restore points within the same backup generation can slow down restore speed significantly, but it doesn't really matter which restore point you're restoring as long as you have reasonable amount with a backup generation.

Software Configuration::- Are there any particular settings within MSP360 that I should check or tweak to improve restore speeds: ?? — Stevesss

Not that I know

How big are the files you are trying to restore and how long does it take to restore? What is your expectation?

It shouldn't. Even errors and failed backups do not cancel the schedule. Can you post screenshots of the schedule step and the actual schedule settings for this plan?

Please open a support case, so that our engineers can investigate

Can you see the restored server under "Pending" filter on the Computers page?

Is this a new hardware you performed a bare metal restore to?

Consider using MSP360 Managed Backup

Is this really an error? AFAIK it's an info message reporting how many files were skipped based on your settings

Make sure the user account associated with the computer at https://mspbackups.com/AP/Users is the same you are using on the agent side. Also what is the software version installed?

What product are you using? Managed or Standalone?

Sure. I will add to the list. Thanks

If interrupted, only new parts will be uploaded. Everything that was uploaded before the interruption will not be re-uploaded. However, from the UI, it will appear as though the process has started from the beginning.

yes, the product works with Win Server 2022. Can you point me to the specs you are referring to?
