[HELP] Access the windows files through ssh

lkvpslkvps Member

Hi all, I have a dedicated server (centos + virtualizor) and a few windows vps on it. Windows had been corrupted in one of the vps and I can't boot it. Is there a way to access its' files through the server ssh? I really need some files to be recovered.

Thanks!

    Try enabling rescue mode for the VM and mount it .

    Thanks! Where is the path to windows files in rescue mode?

    run "fdisk -l"

  • Without server boot, you cannot access server files.

    Did you try mounting that disk to another vps and opening it like d:/ ?

  • Windows Server prior to 2016 or maybe only client editions didn't do SSH at all.

    If you can't boot the Windows Server VPS but need to retrieve the data, there's the option of loop mounting the boot volume in a read-only state inside your CentOS VM Host and then recover the data that way.
