Performing VM Restore

In case of a disaster, you can restore an entire Proxmox VE VM from a backup. Veeam Backup for Proxmox VE allows you to restore one or more VMs at a time, to the original location or to a new location.

To restore machines to Proxmox VE, you can use the following backups:

• Backups of Proxmox VE VMs created by Veeam Backup for Proxmox VE

• Backups of Nutanix AHV VMs created by Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV

• Backups of oVirt KVM VMs created by Veeam Backup for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization

• Backups of Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere VMs created by Veeam Backup & Replication

• Backups of VMs created by vCloud Director
• Backups of Amazon EC2 instances created by Veeam Backup for AWS

• Backups of Microsoft Azure VMs created by Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure
• Backups of Google Cloud VM instances created by Veeam Backup for Google Cloud

• Backups of virtual and physical machines created by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux

VM restore is supported only for backups stored in backup repositories, object storage repositories and on the performance, capacity and archive tier of a scale-out backup repository (except for backups stored in the archive tier that consists of the Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval extent).
