Disk Restore

To restore a VM disk, Veeam Backup for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization performs the following steps:

1. The Veeam Backup & Replication console sends the restore session configuration data to the backup appliance.
2. The backup appliance powers off the target VM.
3. The backup appliance launches a worker.
4. The worker creates an empty virtual disk in the oVirt KVM environment.
5. The worker connects to the backup repository and restores backed-up data to the empty disk.
6. [This step applies only if you restore the disk to the original VM and if you choose to replace the existing disk] The worker detaches the original disk from the VM and removes it from the oVirt KVM environment.
7. The worker attaches the created disk with the restored data to the target VM.
