Restoring image-level backups

You can perform an image-level recovery, which restores the entire VM and establishes a new version of that VM in Hyper‑V Manager. The process restores files either to their original location or to a location specified by you when you create a selection set and enter information in the Rename/Relocate dialog box. For instructions on performing restores from a previous version of the plug-in, refer to the user's guide for the corresponding version.

* 
IMPORTANT: The plug-in flattens Hyper-V checkpoints when a backup is taken and later retrieved using an image-level recovery process. For example, if you back up a base disk that has two checkpoint files that the VM is running, the VM is restored with only one base disk; however, all content from the checkpoint files is included.

This process includes the steps outlined in the following topics:

Prerequisites for image-level restore

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 powered down and 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.
•
Before recovering a VM to different host, verify that the VM resources in the Configuration File match the resources available on the host. In particular, verify that file locations and network-adapter names match. If they do not match, the VM might not get turned on. If resources are different on the target host, complete the recovery manually.
