Restore Question?

Post by unleasher »

I just recently installed Veeam Backup 6 for Hyper V and was wondering about the mechanics of the restore process which I will be testing soon.

For example Let's say I want to restore an entire VM -
If the folder that the VM was in was deleted, I can just restore it back into the same folder it was in and then start it up again right?

How about if the configuration is deleted in the console? Would I then just have to restore the entire VM and then set up the config again to point to the VHD?


thanks!

Hello! Yes, you can restore the entire VM to its original location as well as its configuration files/disks separately. Thanks.
