Entire VM Restore

To restore a VM, Veeam Backup & Replication performs the following steps:

1. Launches a worker on the same host where the processed VM resides.

If no worker is deployed on the host, Veeam Backup & Replication launches a worker that is deployed on any other host residing in the same HPE Morpheus VM Essentials cluster.

2. [This step applies only if you perform restore to the original location and if the source VM is still present in the location] Connects to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials manager over REST API to power off and remove the source VM.
3. Connects to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials manager over REST API, configures a VM and creates empty virtual disks in the target location.

The number of empty disks equals the number of disks attached to the backed-up VM.

4. Restores backed-up data to the empty disks and attaches them to the configured VM.

If multiple disks are attached to the backed-up VM, these disks are restored sequentially, one disk at a time.

5. Shut down the worker VM when the restore session completes.
