    Hi;

    Please run the following command on your server and paste the output here:

    wbadmin get versions

    As you can see in the following example, the specified backed up data can recover files or entire volume.

    If you can see System State as a recoverable item, so you do not have backups that can recover System State...

    As Volume Shadow Copy stores the snapshots in a hidden space and the structure of the stored data is unique to it, I do now know any applications that can recover these data.

    Can you please reproduce your issue and so we can continue our troubleshooting steps?

    Thanks
