Recovering virtual machines

To recover a VM

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
  2. Click the Virtual Machines tab.

    All the discovered cloud assets for the respective category are displayed.

  3. Double-click the protected asset that you want to recover.
  4. Click the Recovery points tab.

    The available images are listed in rows with the backup timestamp for each image. For AWS workloads you can see replicas as well as backup images, if available.

  5. In the Copies column, click the copy that you want to recover. You can see the backup, snapshot, and replica copy, if available. Click Recover. If you don't select a copy to restore, the primary copy is selected.
  6. Click Restore Virtual Machine.
  7. In the Recovery target page, do the following:

    If you restore a backup copy, modify the values of these parameters as required:

    • Configuration: To restore to an alternate configuration, select one from the drop-down.

    • Region: To restore to an alternate region, select one from the drop-down.

    • Subscription: To restore to an alternate subscription, select one from the drop-down. For Azure and Azure Stack Hub only.

    • Resource group: To restore to an alternate resource group, click the search icon, in the Select resource group dialog, and select the required resource group. For Azure and Azure Stack Hub only.

    • Display name: To change the display name, enter the new one in the field. The specified display name is validated during the pre-recovery check.

      Note:

      Except in AWS and OCI workloads, the following special characters are not allowed in the display name: ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = + _ [ ] { } \\ | ; : ' \" , < > / ?."

    If you restore a snapshot copy, specify only the Resource group and the Display name.

    During VM restore from snapshot or backup copy, encryption keys can be selected from individual disks or all disks at the same time as follows:

    • Select the Volume and click Edit the encryption key option.

    • Select the required Encryption type.

    • Select the required encryption Key and click Save.

  8. Click Next.
  9. In the Recovery options page:
    • If you restore a backup copy, to restore to a different zone, select a Zone or Availability domain. To select a network available in that zone, click the search icon near Network configuration, and select a target network for recovery.

      You can also select:

      • For GCP: Firewall rule

      • For Azure: Network security group

      • For AWS: Security group

      • For OCI: Network security group

    • (Only for GCP) If you restore a snapshot copy, to restore to a different region, select a Region. To select a network available in that zone, click the search icon in Network configuration, and select a target network for recovery. The list shows networks available in that zone.

    • If you restore a snapshot copy, to restore to a different zone, select a Zone or Availability domain. To select a network available in that zone, click the search icon in Network configuration, and select a target network for recovery. The list shows networks available in that zone or Availability domain.

      You can also select Security group / Network security group / Firewall rule for AWS, Azure, OCI, and GCP cloud providers respectively.

    In the Advanced section:

    • To keep the VM powered on after recovery, select Power on after recovery.

    • To remove the tags associated with the asset at the time of backup or creating a snapshot, select Remove tag associations.

      Note:

      If you do not select the Remove tag associations option, any tag value for assets should not have spaces, before and after a comma. After the restoration of an asset, the spaces before and after any comma in the tag values are removed. For example, the value for the tag name: created_on: Fri, 02-Apr-2021 07:54:59 PM , EDT is converted to: Fri,02-Apr-2021 07:54:59 PM,EDT. You can manually edit the tag values to reinstate the spaces.

      Note:

      Selection of None for zone means that the VM is not placed in any zone and selection of None for Network security group/Security group/Firewall rule means that no security rules are applied to the restored VM.

  10. Click Next. The pre-recovery check begins. This stage validates all the recovery parameters and displays errors, if any. You can fix the errors before starting the recovery.
  11. Click Start recovery.

    The Restore activity tab shows the job progress.
