This process includes the steps outlined in the following topics:
Verify that the following prerequisites are met:
• |
If you do not intend to use the Rename feature, Quest recommends that you delete the original VM before you perform recovery. |
• |
If you do not intend to use the Rename feature and you do not intend to delete the original VM, ensure that the VM is turned off. Also ensure that none of its files are open before you perform recovery. The plug-in’s recovery process overwrites the existing VM, and write-access is required. |
1 |
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job. |
2 |
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for Hyper‑V from the Plugin Type list. |
3 |
5 |
Click Next. |
6 |
On the Create Selection Set page, select the localhost or <clusterName> node to display the VMs, and then select one or more VMs to restore. |
NOTE: You cannot select individual files under a VM node. If you enabled indexing during backup and want to restore individual files, use file-level recovery. For more information, see Performing file-level recovery. If you select an Incremental or Differential Backup, the plug-in automatically restores all savesets in the backup sequence up to the selected saveset. |
1 |
• |
To restore the entire VM and establish a new version of that VM in Hyper‑V Manager, select Recover entire VM to host and/or cluster. |
• |
To restore specific files to a location specified by you, select Restore files from inside VM guest OS to specified location. |
CAUTION: The Delete working directory contents after recovery option is selected by default. Do not clear this option unless instructed to do so by Quest support. |
3 |
If you selected the Recover entire VM to host and/or cluster option and you want the recovered VM to be restarted automatically, select the Power-on VM after recovery option. |
NOTE: The Power-on VM after recovery option is only available if you select a backup saveset that was created using version 11.4 or later of the plug-in. |
