Performing VM Restore

In case of a disaster, you can restore an entire Scale Computing HyperCore VM from a backup. Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore allows you to restore one or more VMs at a time, to the original location or to a new location.

To restore machines to Scale Computing HyperCore, you can use the following backups:

  • Backups of Scale Computing HyperCore VMs created by Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore
  • Backups of Nutanix AHV VMs created by Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV
  • Backups of oVirt KVM VMs created by Veeam Backup for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization
  • Backups of Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere VMs created by Veeam Backup & Replication
  • Backups of VMs created by VMware Cloud 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 virtual and physical machines created by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux
  • 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).

Note

You cannot restore VMs from backups stored in external repositories, Veeam Cloud Connect repositories, and on tapes.

If you restore the VM from a backup of a VMware, Hyper-V, oVirt KVM or Proxmox VE VM or from a backup created by Veeam Agent, a restored VM may have network connection problems. To resolve the issue, install Scale Guest Tools on the restored VM.

To restore a protected VM, do the following:

  1. Launch the Entire VM Restore wizard.
  2. Select a restore point.
  3. Choose a restore mode.
  4. Specify a target cluster.
  5. Specify a name for the restored VM.
  6. Configure network settings.
  7. Specify a restore reason.
  8. Verify restore settings.
