Entire VM Restore

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

1. [This step applies only if you perform restore to the original location and if the source VM is still present in the location] The backup appliance powers off the source VM and removes it from the oVirt KVM environment.
2. The backup appliance launches a worker.
3. The worker connects to the oVirt KVM Manager over REST API and creates a VM in the target location.
4. The worker creates empty virtual disks in the target location. The number of empty disks equals the number of disks attached to the source VM.
5. The worker connects to the backup repository and restores backed-up data to the empty disks.

If multiple disks are attached to the source VM, the worker restores these disks sequentially, one disk at a time

6. The worker attaches the created disks with the restored data to the VM.

7. Suspends the worker when the restore session completes.
