Explanation

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide1, you can use the Guest File Restore wizard to restore files and folders from VM guest OSes that run Linux or other non-Windows OSes2. The wizard allows you to choose how to handle situations when restored files already exist on the target location3. Therefore, if you want to restore the folder of traffic photos to their original location and do not want to lose the original files, you should use the Keep function. This function will preserve original files on disk and will not overwrite them with restored files.
