Performing VM Restore

In case a disaster strikes, you can restore an entire oVirt VM from a backup. Veeam Plug-in for OLVM and RHV allows you to restore one or more VMs at a time, to the original location or to a new location.

Supported Workloads

To restore machines to a oVirt KVM cluster, you can use the following backups:

• Backups of oVirt KVM VMs created by Veeam Plug-in for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization (including VMs with volume groups attached and VMs with no disks attached).
• Backups of Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere VMs created by Veeam Backup & Replication.
• Backups of virtual and physical machines created by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux.
• Backups of VMs created by vCloud Director.
• Backups of Amazon EC2 instances created by Veeam Backup for AWS.
• Backups of Microsoft Azure VMs created by Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure.
• Backups of Google Cloud VM instances created by Veeam Backup for Google Cloud.
• Backups of Nutanix AHV VMs created by Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV.
• Backups of Proxmox VE VMs created by Veeam Plug-in for Proxmox VE.

VM restore is supported only for backups stored in backup repositories, object storage repositories, and on the performance, capacity and archive tier of a scale-out backup repository (except for backups stored in the archive tier that consists of the Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval extent).
