Delete a sub folder from a VSS snapshot

Hi,

We have found some of our VSS snapshots have infected files in them. Ideally we don't want to remove the whole snap, just the folders with the infected files. Is this possible?

Best wishes Michael

avhd(x) shouldn't be touched. You can mount it, but if you delete some file from it, hyper-v Will report that the snapshot is corrupt.

Make a copy first if try anyway.

Hi Benjamin,

I'm talking about Windows 2012 file VSS snapshots not Hyper-V. The snapshots are of folders the contain files that are snapped for backup purposes.

Best wishes

Oh. I am sorry. When I saw snapshot, I automatically read vhd.

No one came up with an answer. It is a C as it isn't what we wanted to do.
