Disk Restore
To restore a VM disk, Veeam Backup for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization performs the following steps:
- The Veeam Backup & Replication console sends the restore session configuration data to the backup appliance.
- The backup appliance powers off the target VM.
- The backup appliance launches a worker.
- The worker creates an empty virtual disk in the oVirt KVM environment.
- The worker connects to the backup repository and restores backed-up data to the empty disk.
- [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.
- The worker attaches the created disk with the restored data to the target VM.
