Performing Restore

In various disaster recovery scenarios, Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to perform the following restore operations using VM backups created by Veeam Plug-in for Universal Hypervisor API:

• Restore of VMs — start an entire VM from a restore point in the original location or a new location.

• Restore of VM disks — restore specific VM disks and attach them to the original VM or to any other VM.

• Instant Recovery —  immediately restore VMs directly from a backup to VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV and Proxmox VE environments.
• Disk publishing — publish point-in-time disks, and copy the necessary files and folders to the target server.
• File-level restore — restore individual VM files and folders.

• Application item restore — restore applications such as Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft SQL Server.

• VM disk export — restore VM disks and convert them to disks in the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format.
• Restore to AWS — restore VMs to Amazon Web Services as EC2 instances.
• Restore to Microsoft Azure — restore VMs to Microsoft Azure as Azure VMs.
• Restore to Google Cloud — restore VMs to Google Cloud as VM instances.

You can restore VM data to the most recent state or to any available restore point.
