Step 12. Finalize Instant VM Recovery
After the VMs have been successfully recovered, you must finalize the process. For this, test the recovered VMs and decide whether to migrate them to production environment or stop publishing.
To open a VM console in Veeam Backup & Replication:
- Open the Home view.
- In the inventory pane, select the Instant Recovery node.
- In the working area, right-click a VM and select Open VM console.
If the test fails, you can stop publishing the recovered VMs. For details, see Stop Publishing Recovered VMs.
To migrate a recovered VM to production:
- Open the Home view.
- In the inventory pane, select the Instant Recovery node.
- In the working area, right-click a VM and select Migrate to production.

The following information applies if you recover Hyper-V VMs. After the migration is finished, and if the selected destination differs from the original location, the original VMs still exist. If you do not need them, you must manually remove them in the Hyper-V client. |

If the destination is the original location, both the original and recovered VMs are removed. |
