Entire VM Restore
To restore a VM, Veeam Backup for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization performs the following steps:
- [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.
- The backup appliance launches a worker.
- The worker connects to the oVirt KVM Manager over REST API and creates a VM in the target location.
- 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.
- 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
Note |
If multiple VMs are added to the restore session, these VMs are processed in parallel. |
- The worker attaches the created disks with the restored data to the VM.
- Suspends the worker when the restore session completes.
