Restoring from Storage Snapshots
When you restore InterSystems IRIS instance data from storage snapshots, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a thin clone of the selected snapshots on the source storage system through the Universal Storage API and mounts it directly to the target ODB server. No data is retrieved from a backup repository. This restore path is available in snapshot-only mode, or in backup mode when the backup policy is configured to retain storage snapshots.

NOTE |
|
Before you start the restore wizard, create an auxiliary host for the LUN mount in the storage system interface, using any name except the VeeamAUX prefix. If you do not, Veeam Backup & Replication creates this host automatically with the VeeamAUX prefix and deletes all hosts that have this prefix when the storage system is removed from the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, which can break the link between the target host and its volumes. |
Restore Destination
You can specify where to restore InterSystems IRIS instance data from snapshots created with the InterSystems IRIS plug-in in Veeam Backup & Replication.
- Original location — Veeam Backup & Replication restores the data to the same ODB server and path from which the backup was created. For details, see Restoring to Original Location.
- Different location — Veeam Backup & Replication restores the data to a different ODB server or a different target path. Specify the target server connection parameters and credentials. Use path mapping to set the target path for each source volume. For details, see Restoring to a Different Location.
For information about the steps that Veeam Backup & Replication performs automatically, see Data Restore.
