      What is the best way to restore a single folder from a CR backup?

      I do not wish to restore the entire VM, just a folder that was accidentally deleted.

      Thanks in advance...

        CR (now "incremental replication") is only intended to replicate a VM to another SR. If you just want to restore a file, you need to boot (a copy) of that replicated VM and take the file you need inside.

          I thought so however booting the VM on the LAN will cause IP conflicts and alternatively, if the VM is off the LAN then it will be inaccessible.

            It's up to you to do whatever you need with the VM copy. Clone the replicated VM, remove the NICs (for example) and boot it.
