Before you perform Instant VM Recovery, check the following prerequisites:

You can perform Instant VM Recovery for a VM that has been successfully backed up at least once.
You must have at least 10 GB of free disk space on the vPower NFS datastore to store redo logs for the restored VM. By default, the redo logs are written to the C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\NfsDatastore folder on the vPower NFS server.

If you are recovering a VM to the production network, make sure that the initial VM is powered off to avoid conflicts.
