NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V 10.5

NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V 10.5 - User Guide

Setting file-level restore options

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select the Restore files from inside VM guest OS to specified location option.

In the Target directory box, enter the full path to where you want the files restored, and verify that the path exists before continuing.

For a standalone configuration, the plug-in recovers files to the Hyper-V host. For a clustered configuration, the plug-in recovers files to the host (Virtual Client) that is currently managing the cluster. In both cases, the plug-in defaults to placing all the files in C:\<directoryNamedAfterVM>.

Click Ok to save the settings, and then click Next.

Finalizing and submitting a file-level restore job

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Click Ok to save the settings, and then click Next.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.

Specify a detailed title that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.

Use the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.

Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.

You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Using other restore procedures

This section describes other restore operations that you can perform with the plug-in:

•

Renaming and relocating a VM during image-level restore

•

Restoring data to an alternate Hyper-V Server

Renaming and relocating a VM during image-level restore

The plug-in lets you restore a VM to a different name and location. The renaming of a VM can be useful if you do not want to overwrite the existing version.


	IMPORTANT: If your environment uses Windows Server® 2008 R2 and you use the Rename feature, the recovery does not include network adapters that the VM backup included.

In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job, select Plug‑in for Hyper‑V from the Plugin Type list, select the applicable saveset, and click Next.

On the Create Selection Set page, select the localhost or <clusterName> node to display the VMs, and then select the VM to restore.

With the VM selected on the Create Selection Set page, select Rename from the Actions list.

In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, complete both fields (required):

•

Rename: Enter the new name.

•

Relocate: Enter the new full path. If you are recovering clustered VMs, make sure that the path is part of the cluster.

To apply your changes, click Ok.

The VM name is accompanied by the rename and relocate information in parentheses.

Continue with the restore procedure as explained in Restoring image-level backups.

If your environment uses Windows Server 2008 R2 and the original VM included network adapters, use Hyper-V® Manager to add the network adapters.
