Restoring from manifest

vRanger offers the ability to restore a savepoint after it has been moved from a repository. This feature allows for greater flexibility when restoring a file or server after it has been moved to long-term tape backups. You may also use the Restore from Manifest feature to restore a server after transporting the savepoint to a secondary location.

You may perform three different operations when restoring from a manifest file:

•
Performing a full restore from manifest for VMware VMs
•
Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine
•
Performing FLR from manifest

Performing a full restore from manifest for VMware VMs

Each savepoint contains a manifest file that can be used to restore the savepoint without access to the vRanger database. If the vRanger machine is lost, you may install a fresh installation of vRanger, and restore savepoints using this manifest file.

To perform a full restore from manifest for VMs, complete the following tasks:

* 
NOTE: The procedures in this topic apply to restoring from a VMware VM savepoint manifest. For information on restoring a Hyper-V VM from manifest, see Performing a full restore from manifest for Hyper-V VMs. For information on restoring a physical server from a savepoint manifest, see Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine.
