Hi, usually fileservers tend to be x TB size. It will take time while mounting that size of vmdk from imagebackup and browse the file you want to restore. If you have agent backup on that server, restoring will take few minutes from start to stop, depending how many/large files you are restoring.
Filesystem "plugin" is installed along the agent. SQL/Exchange/etc are the add-on plugins on top of the agent.

Thanks Niko!
May I know why agent restore is more beneficial for file server?
And what's the difference between agent software and filesystem plugin when they do backup/restore? Aren't they the same?
