Restoring the Microsoft Hyper-V VM backups (“Full VM Restore”)
To restore the Microsoft Hyper-V assets from a backup, take the following steps with the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface:
From a supported web browser, log in to the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface.
From the navigation pane, click Job Manager.
Click New Restore Job to open the Restore Type pane.
On the Restore Type pane, select the Type of Restore. Only Full VM Restore is available for Hyper-V nodes.
Instant VM Restore will recover the virtual machine to the original or an alternate host using LUN mapping of the backup instance to the host storage.
Full VM Restore will recover the virtual machine to the original or an alternate host, physically transferring the data to the restore target.
Click Next to open the Object To Restore pane.
Select the object to be restored. The available objects to restore may be sorted by Name, Type, associated Job Name, the Backup Date/Time, or by Size.
Click Next to open the Recovery Points pane.
Select the recovery point to restore. You can select the Latest Recovery Point or one of the other recovery points in the list.
Click Next to open the Options pane.
Enter a name for the restore in the Name field (required).
Custom VM Restore options can be enabled:
Power on the virtual machine after restoring will power on the restored virtual machine.
Delete the source virtual machine if it exists.
Delete the restore job on successful completion.
Choose the Node Name and specify the Node Path for the Target Host.
In the Virtual Machine Properties section,
Click Save to save the New Restore job.
Click Run to begin the job.
Restore job progress can be viewed on the Job Monitor and the current status is displayed in the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface.
