Disk Restore

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

1. Powers off the target VM.
2. [Applies only if you restore disks to the original VM and if you choose to replace existing disks] Detaches the original disks from the VM and removes them from the oVirt KVM environment.
3. Launches a worker on the host where the target VM resides.

If no worker is deployed on the host, Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV launches a worker that is deployed on any other oVirt KVM host or the uses embedded worker.

4. Creates empty virtual disks in the target storage domain.

The number of empty disks equals the number of disks you selected to restore.

5. Restores backed-up data to the empty disks.
6. Attaches disks with restored data to the target VM.
7. Suspends the worker when the restore session completes.
