After backing up a virtual machine, you can restore the virtual machine using the following methods:
|
Restore method |
Description |
|---|---|
|
This method restores the entire virtual machine and associated metadata with the configured peripherals from any given Unitrends recovery point. The recovery point can be associated with a full, differential, or incremental backup. See Restoring Hyper-V virtual machines. |
|
|
File-level recovery |
This method allows file-level recovery from Hyper-V backups. Data is accessed using CIFS (Samba) and iSCSI protocols. Data can be recovered in a single pass from any recovery point associated with a full, differential, or incremental backup of the virtual machine. See Restoring files from Hyper-V backups. |
|
Instant Recovery |
This method provides instant availability of the virtual machine leveraging Live Storage Migration to transfer data while the virtual machine is up and running. See Instant recovery for Hyper-V. |
