Performing VM Restore

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

Note

You cannot restore VMs from backups stored in external repositories and on tapes. However, you can copy backups to a supported repository and then use them to restore VMs.
