Performing a full restore for Hyper-V® VMs

vRanger performs a full restore of a VM by using a savepoint created from a backup job. A savepoint contains point-in-time data of the VM. If you select an incremental savepoint from which to restore the server, a full savepoint is also restored, along with every incremental savepoint taken between the time of the full backup and the time of the selected incremental backup.

For information about performing a full restore from a savepoint manifest, see Restoring from manifest.

For more information, see Performing a full restore of a physical machine.

To perform a full restore for a VM, complete the following tasks:
